In A36 security issues

[Master2244]

The fingerprint sensor allows anyone to unlock the device and the banking application, even with an unregistered fingerprint.

You should remove all fingerprints first and then again register them. After that it'll be okay. Check again after that. If the problem solved then click on three dots on this comment and accept it as a solution. Otherwise, visit your nearest Samsung service center for detailed inspection. 😊

It resolves thank you bro

This may happen again. This would always be the solution. The reason for this is that in-display fingerprints are pressure-sensitive. It sometimes fails to detect fingerprints and unlock the phone under pressure. This doesn't happen with side fingerprints (fingerprints in the power button) or in flagships with ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensors. I hope it helps. When this happens next time, repeat the same procedure. 😊

Dear Samsung Member,

Greetings from Samsung Customer Support!

As per your concern, we would request you to kindly perform the following steps to resolve your issue.

● Ensure that your fingers are clean and dry.
Note: If the skin on your fingertips is peeling or cracking, or your fingerprint is difficult to capture, the fingerprint ID on your phone may not work.

● If your fingerprints fail to unlock the phone while the phone is recharging, remove it from the charger and try again. If you are charging the phone with a charger and data cable from other brands when you use fingerprints to unlock the phone, they may interfere with the fingerprint sensor and cause the recognition to fail.

● Clean the fingerprint sensor with a soft cloth. Make sure the fingerprint sensor is dry and free from any debris that may cause the sensor to be unable to recognize the fingerprint.

● Remove the current fingerprint and set up the fingerprint again. When you touch the sensor to set up a fingerprint, make sure you set the entire fingerprint, including the outer area of your fingertip. Setting the entire fingerprint area enables successful fingerprint recognition with any grip.

● How to remove Fingerprint: Path: Settings> Biometrics and Security> Fingerprints> Fingerprint1> Remove> Remove again to confirm.

● How to Set up Fingerprint: Path: Settings>Biometrics and Security> Fingerprints> Fingerprint> Scan your fingerprint> Place your finger on the sensor, then lift it off when you feel a vibration> Continue> Reposition your finger each time to capture the edge of your fingerprint> Done> Fingerprint added successfully.
