I use a separate login method for secure folder. This is incase my phone has mallard. Also, if my phone is snatched while unlocked, they can't access my secure folder.
Now, everything is exposed! I feel so I secure with the secure folder!
2. All my apps in secure folder do not hv a fingerprint login anymore. If I didnt set other forms of logins, my app is suddenly accessible without passwords!
Samsung, please fix this. This is crazy. I am always proud of the security. But this is not working!
my secure folder is working correctly, i set different password on top lock screen and secure folder, after i am done using secure folder i will hide my secure folder
my OS is Android 16 with One UI 8, i don't use fingerprint to unlock lock screen or secure print, because if i dead someone else can use my finger to unlock my phone, and that's not good
so you aren't prioritize security above all if you are stil using fingerprint, password something like: NoOneCanUseMyphone68& is a lot safer than fingerprint
Yah. I agree with u. So I did pattern lock on secure folder, but finger prints on the apps inside. I weigh that the chances of malware reading my pw is higher than me dying. 😅
The Secure Folder now no longer can be accessed by using fingertips. Typing the password all the ***ing time is terrible. Also, I believe none of the apps in there have access to Biometrics, meaning that all of them require passwords.
Unless Samsung knows something we don't about biometrics - that it is easily hackable - then turning to passwords is insecure, as most users will use simpler, rememberable passwords given they need to type it all the time.
Samsung is following the same path as other big techs around the world, reducing security and stabilitity as the product gets "more mature".
