Feature Request 💡

Dear Samsung, since you already allow multiple fingerprints to be registered for unlocking the phone. Would request you to implement a feature where one can use different fingerprints for different purposes. The only advantage we get with multiple fingerprints is that you can unlock your phone with different fingers when you can't use the other ones maybe because your hand is dirty or busy. Or, if you have registered one of the fingers of your wife/gf/kids to unlock the phone. These are the only advantages of having multiple fingerprints registered. 

Let's look at the use cases of using different fingerprints to perform different actions:

In case, I have two registered fingers in my phone.I want to use one to unlock my phone whereas the others to unlock my finanical applications like banking, GPay, and others. I wouldn't want the same finger to be able to unlock my phone and access my banking or other sensitive social media apps that I use. 

Another proposal. I think we should be able to unlock different profiles with different fingerprints.

..something like multiple persons fingerprints can open different users. For example, my fingers unlock my phone. If had a kid, his/her finger could unlock my - phone but in Kids Mode with selective application access or If someone asks me for my phone, I unlock it using my secondary finger which automatically opens guest mode with limited functionality and only has access to stuff I choose in advance. And I get to use my default profile by unlocking the phone with my primary finger.

The current situation is totally opposite, irrespective of how many fingerprints you have registered, you can access phone and all sort of security in it using any fingerprint. 

Let me know if you like the idea💡 or if you want to add any more suggestion to it.

Thanks for sharing the screenshot and the knowledge however this is just half the solution. It still doesn't let me open my banking apps with a particularly assigned fingerprint let's say fingerprint 1 to unlock my phone but after unlocking it if I want to open my banking app, I can assign fingerprint 2 for that.
