There used to be a feature where I could assign a separate fingerprint to open secure folder from the lockscreen. I can no longer find that option. There is a seperate finger print security setting within secure folder, but it doesn't actually do anything.

Did this get removed or is it somewhere else obscured?

I think you can do that through Bixby routines.

It's not very "secure" if the same finger print to unlock the phone is used to unlock the secure folder. I think it was a dumb move for them to remove that. I'm wondering if it was on purpose to make it *less* secure.

It was most likely removed for security reasons; it's safer to use a pin instead of a fingerprint that could be copied.
