Question about apps with onscreen fingerprint scanner Oct 31, 2018

    I have some apps that can use fingerprint to unlock. But in their security screen they have a number pad that is part of the app, it can't be dismissed like an onscreen keyboard.

    Just wondering if the onscreen fingerprint scanner can be used with apps like that, because where it's placed looks like it covers the 8 of the number pad. Has anyone had any experience with apps that do this?

    Quickly tested with Tesco Pay+ in the UK, the finger print reader cannot be dismissed by back button, but if for any reason it won't work, press the 'use pin' button in the app and it will disable the fingerprint reader overlay

    Thanks for the reply & testing that out. So basically in an app that accepts fingerprint login, the scanner will overlay and override whatever's on the screen unless you press "use PIN"? Is that "use pin" option always available or specifically for this one app?

    On my 5T or 3T I just press the fingerprint scanner, or I enter the PIN. I'm guessing on the 6T, the fingerprint reader would override the screen?
