Fingerprint and Face Recognition Security

[Charles52]

Hey Samsung, I have a suggestion!

Wouldn't it be nice to have a feature where we can automatically disable fingerprint and face recognition?

Someone could easily access our phones by using our fingerprints during our sleep. Or times when we leave our phone to charge or do something else, someone could use a picture or video of us to bypass the face recognition feature and access our device without us knowing.

I was trying to add this in my Bixby routines but it cannot disable these security features automatically at a certain time or schedule.

Or atleast have a easily accessible single tap button to disable it, right?

Have you tried Lockdown Mode? Enabling it will require your PIN/Password to unlock your device.

Search for show lockdown option in settings

Oh wow, I didn't know about that. I saw that option some time when I was exploring the settings but didn't really gave attention to it. Guess I wasn't exploring enough in my phone.

Thanks for letting me know! 😁

Explore more and learn more features 😁
If Banks have KYC "Know Your Client" try also having KYD "Know Your Device" 😂 😉

True. I don't think there is such a feature yet that would allow you to "schedule" or "automatically" disable the face recognition or fingerprint. It's really just either you choose that or otherwise. In my case I have always preferred passcodes because it is secure. I mean the only way they can get to your phone is to have you actually reveal the passcode at gun-point 🤣🤣🤣💀💀
