The “handling” column indicates what happens when trying to use/setup fingerprint within the app:
- Nothing = enabling fingerprint just has no visible effect, i.e. fingerprint stays disabled with no feedback to the user
- Disables feature = the option to use/enable fingerprint is disabled or absent, probably without a hint as to why
- Warning = the app warns that fingerprint cannot be used
- Error = using/enabling fingerprint results in an error or app crash, typically without a nice message (just cryptic stuff/stack traces)
- Unusable = the app has no fallback like PIN or password and just doesn’t work without fingerprint
