Four Fingerprints can be registered in biometrics. For example, Fingerprint1, Fingerprint2, Fingerprint3 and Fingerprint4.

There can be an option in Secure Folder to open Secure Folder using only specific Fingerprints. For example, when entering Secure Folder, only Fingerprint2 and Fingerprint3 will work. Fingerprint1 and Fingerprint4 will be denied access. The option can be set in the settings activity window below.

(The concept is different than the Modes and Routines where we can perform specific actions using specific Biometrics.)

I go back and name my fingerprints, so I know which fingerprint belongs to which finger and which one I may have to change if there's a problem.  Usually by the time you have a problem with a print and have to redo it, you forget which order you saved the fingerprints in.  Also, not all the fingerprints have to be the user's.  I reserved one for my executor. One can reserve one for anyone they may need to access their phone in case of emergency or demise.

I think you misunderstood my post. I can unlock using fingerprints fine. I am suggesting an option so that specific biometric can be set to unlock Secure Folder option.

And I was adding the tip that one should also go back and rename the fingerprints so that if they want a specific fingerprint to open the secure folder, they don't get confused and add the wrong one.  You are speaking to people who cannot remember a 4-digit PIN, they are going to remember which print is 1, 2, 3 or 4? šŸ™‚
