security lock screen - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Can you use multiple screen locks? Like can I have fingerprint and Iris scanner active at the same time? Must be really hard to use the iris scanner since it has to be at such a precise angle

Also for example how does secure folder work? Can you use face recognition​ to access the phone but require Iris for messages and photos?

Yes. Just can't have iris and face recognition at the same time.

This is really good info. I would love to use IRIS + FingerScanner. Thanks for info.

Yes you can and if it's anything like the note 7 it wasn't really that hard to use the iris scanner.

[Q] Private mode to lock apps?

Why cant Samsung extend the use of private mode to lock apps with the fingerprint scanner? Or is it possible to have applocks that work with the fingerprint scanner? It would be great if Samsung make good use of the finger scanner and widen its use...

Fingerprint sensor trick.

Hello Guys,
I found a way to have a seamless experience with the OP2 fingerprint sensor. When adding a new fingerprint always ensure that you touch the sensor in all directions with both the thumbs. This way you will be able to unlock the phone via both your thumbs. Hope this helps.
Cheers.
you could always just add a second valid fingerprint with your other thumb...

OP's way is actually better, the reader gets slower when it has to scan for multiple fingers.

Fingerprint sensor as touchpad

The N6P has got the same fingerprint sensor than the mate s. Is it possible to get the scrolling feature with the fingerprint sensor as a touchpad for photos and browser ... working? This would be very usefull especially when reading long text.
There is a lot of potential features that could be realized with the fingerprint sensor ... such as switch to last app when longpressed or double tapped while unlocked.
I don't got any programming skills so i don't know how to do this at all. Just some ideas
I do self talk here ... just want to bring this up again.
Scrolling with the sensor would be so usefull as i always got pain in my little finger holding my device while reading long text ... anyone even know if this is possible?
Hi, you do have a good idea! Try the Kinetic Scroll app for now, and ask the developer here about the fingerprint scanner.
If you can, I'd suggest make an xposed module! A lot of people (myself included) would definitely be interested!
I think it's possible to do it because the Huawei made scroll screenshot in their system so why not implement this feature in the fingerprint sensor it will be very useful to all users
Imagine if we could have the functionality of the Nexus 1s track ball from the fingerprint scanner. ?

Possible to make iris scanner work on s8 port rom?

With the S8 port rom I currently have I have the option to add iris scanner as security and i create a pin / password and every time the scanner is about to start scanning my eyes the window / app closes and takes me back to the security sceen. I was wondering if anyone had a fix for that?
It's impossible to make a fix for it because the S7 doesn't have the iris hardware of the S8
The softwares can be ported, but not the hardwares

Face recognition and fingerprint problem

Good morning, I have a problem with facial recognition and the imprint of my 6T. Practically once set do not work .... !!! The imprint opens with any finger and facial recognition the phone is open with any face !! The Smart lock is deactivated and the system is updated ....
Delete face data and fingerprints and set it all up again in a bright area make sure your face is clearly detected. Otherwise maybe the other people look too much like you
I have already done these tests but nothing to do ... does not work ....
Do a factory reset or return your device.
