In third world countries when you get robbed, thieves are asking for your PIN with a gun to your head. Some sensitive apps can be stored in the secure folder, but that can always be unlocked with PIN, even if you activate the fingerprint unlock.
Is there a way to make it fingerprint only? So only I could ever access it, ever.
I have my Secure Folder secured with the pattern lock or fingerprint, not the the PIN. When exiting, ensure you use the 'Exit and lock' for added security.
So in those countries, they cannot point a gun to your head and demand you touch the fingerprint scanner? Sounds like the criminals there are quite dumb.
If they kill you they cannot get your PIN anymore, but they do still have access to your fingerprints, sounds to me like a pin is way more secure.
I'm talking about what happens, not what I think is going to happen. There are lots of cases where they make you say your PIN so them later in a safe place they can join your accounts and send money or call friends in whatsapp pretending to be you, asking for money. I welcome you to search how and why it things happen like this. There's no sense in killing to get the fingerprint, there would be no time to do this stuff in the street with everyone looking, this argument does not make sense. I think you are unfamiliar on how things happen.
Google Pay via NFC does not work after minutes of a phone unlocked, but they can unlock again with the PIN, not fingerprint because they would be already gone. Bank account apps also will ask for your fingerprint, but you can bypass by th PIN, which is what I'm asking to not be done anymore on Samsung. Same for secure folder.
Apple already realized this and it looks like they listened to what was happening here in Brazil, as they introduced a feature recently where only biometric data can unlock in case of theft. I don't know why Samsung does not do this stuff, it looks like they are clueless about how these things happen.
