Hello everyone. Tons of tutos on the web explaining how to bypass pattern unlock but that’s not what i want to do. I’d like to disable that silly pattern unlock and use my fingerprint to unlock my phone instead.
The reason why i want to do this is that i think pattern unlock is a stupid way to protect a phone, i might as well keep it unlocked all time. Unless i wipe my screen after each unlock, anyone looking at it from the right angle under even moderate sunlight can easily and clearly see the traces of my fingers and deduce the pattern.
I have fingerprint set and can use it to identify with my online banking and other apps that require identification, but it doesn’t work to unlock the phone. In the preferences of my phone i can choose between no security, pattern, pin or code but can’t set it to fingerprint or face recognition.
I guess i could use a full password for maximum security but it’s not very convenient (and i don’t have top-secret information on my phone). Fingerprint seems like the best middle ground between security and convenience but sadly it doesn’t seem to work to unlock my screen.
