any other pixel 6 users lose their fingerprint and biometrics settings options completely after the latest update? - Lemmy.world

I’m on Android 13 not 14 and I’ve seen reports a few months ago about this happening for 14. I’ve got no option to update or roll back and all fingerprint related settings and the fingerprint functionality have just vanished as if it’s not being detected at all. very frustrating trying to remember passwords for all sorts of apps that expect biometric login. anyone else see this or have a fix for it?

Maybe. My pixel today would no read my finger but fingerprint scanners on all android devices I have tried are flaky.

What do you mean? only the ones in the screen or the very first ones from years ago. Otherwise, fingerprint sensors on Android work like a charm.

I honestly don’t understand the migration to in screen readers. Yes, it’s cool that OLED allows passthrough, but an indent at the back makes getting a consistently centered finger easier. Barring that, I like how Razer put theirs in the power button
