Secure Folder and Biometrics

[loc_dek]

I have a Fold 6 and since the last update to One UI 8.0 there is an issue with Secure Folder and Biometrics.

I have all my banking apps into the Secure Folder. I would use a pin to open the Secure Folder and then I could connect to those apps with my fingerprint since I enabled biometric auth on all those apps.

Since the update I cannot connect with my biometrics to those app and I get an error message saying I need to configure my biometrics in the settings. In the settings I have my fingerprint registered.

I noticed that in the settings of the Secure Folder there is also a biometric options. I added my fingerprint there which allows me to unlock the folder with my fingerprint rather then the pin but in the apps I still can't use my fingerprint.

I hope you can help me out figuring this issue.

You have to re-register your fingerprint(s) in Secure folder.

I managed to make it work eventually by restarting the phone.
Ultimately I think in the secure folder you need to add a biometric, either fingerprint or face and then restart the phone to then use the biometric in the folder apps.

Isn't that basically exactly what I noted?

There's seperate fingerprints in secure folder, you need to add. In the secure folder page click the 3 dots and click settings. After that in the top u can see one setting called Secure Folder lock and biometrics, click that and register your fingerprint.
