I think 72 hours is too short a timeframe to require a password to be entered. I think it should be an optional period of time, say 3-30 days set by the user.
I think it's more likely that someone will see you type your password over your shoulder than steal your fingerprint, but if it's a user defined option, customers could do what they think is best.
I understand the password can be masked, but if you have a very strong password sometimes it's necessary to unmask to see what you type.
Galaxy S22+ and Galaxy Tab S8. Android v13. OneUI v5.1 on both.
I have my devices set to lock after 5 minutes of non-use. After it locks, when I go to wake it up, I have to enter my Biometric or Device Passcode.
Once I enter my Biometric, after 72 hours it requires the passcode. Ditto for Samsung Knox Secure Folder. When it prompts for the Passcode, there is a "learn more" that explains the 72 hour window.
Yeah, I can see that in Settings too now. I must not be bothered by having to enter it every 72 hours and didn't notice, or the fact that I'm retired and I'm at home, with my home set as a safe place in Smart Lock and don't need to unlock my phone when here, is the answer for me.
