Around 2 hours ago I submitted a new biometric fingerprint from a different finger (located on my human physical body) and erased the fingerprint I had previously saved and was using up to that point. Out of muscle memory, a few minutes ago I attempted to unlock my phone using the old finger instead of the new one - and it unlocked it with ease. Now, after my heart stopped beating and I trembled with terror for however long my mind needed to put that little display on (jk ;)), I am now reaching out to you, the community, to see what on earth could be the possible cause for this issue. Any thoughts? #sourceoftheforce (Austin from Houston).

@Sourceoftheforce Do you have face unlock enabled?

After deleting the finger print I believe it still stays compatible for a little bit just to verify in case you did not mean to or can't unlock with new finger

@brzzy I seem to remember that warning popping up last time I changed the password.
