I want to use fingerprint scanner without having to also input the pin code. Is this possible?

How do I bypass the pin lock when I use finger print scanner to unlock the screen?
- Thread starter loner.
- Start date
It is only when you reboot, and haven't seen a mod like that for the lat two phones.
Under security you can change it so you don't have to type pin in when you boot phone up
Screenshot? I don't see that option.. I don’t think he's referring to the bootup pin, it's the lockscreen pin once it has booted

Correct. I want to use the fingerprint security without having to use the pin.
It seems to me that the fingerprint scanner is rather useless if you still have to use your pin, or pattern.

This is only after a reboot, there you have to type your pin one time, I afterwards just the fingerprint.
For the complete use if fingerprint you have to wait for a custom rom that has is built in.
If also noticed that after a certain amount of time you have to type pin in I remember seeing it saying something along the lines of you could stop pin after reboot but I think that might have been the s8+ I don't have to type pin in if I turn off the u11
.
My fingerprint scanner works fine and I only need to use the pin on reboot.
I however also use Extended Controls and have a Lock button on there. When I use that I have to put in my pin with my fingerprint.
I think its something to do with the way the apps "lock" the phone as I believe other people with other phones have a similar issue as well.
When the phone locks itself or if I push the power button to lock it, fingerprint works fine by itself.

It happened at Nova launcher. From lock position, asking for pin instead of finger print.

So, after reading a little more online, it appears that Android's unlocking with fingerprint only will NOT tolerate any other app input. I may have to give up on my beloved AC Display app, which would display notifications briefly. I also use Gravity Screen app, but it has a setting that (hopefully) makes it more compatible. I've never rooted a phone before, and I'm not thrilled with starting now, given the hassles of OTA updates, etc.
We'll see what happens . . .

Revoke admin right to nova launcher.
Also in nova advanced settings choose timeout lock instead of root method.

I know this but it take 5~10 seconds to really turn off screen because of Android security.
During these seconds... If you touch soft buttons screen turns on.
Very annoying
Yes, with this program it will take 5 seconds to fully turn off the screen.
...and I confirm you have to be careful with home and multitasking buttons, but with time you will get accustomed to.
This is the 1st smartphone I am keeping full stock (messing with them since HTC Windows mobile devices) and as of now this is the best program I have found...
I am missing long press home button to turn off the screen, like OnePlus devices
If you miss the OnePlus unlock, you can use Edge Sense + Screen Lock Pro
