Hello, I can't use the finger print sensor to sign in apps or remember passwords on the browser (I use chrome) ... I used to have a Galaxy S6 and it automaticaly asked me If I'd like to use the sensor for this even at the apps or the browser ... but G4 don't.. can anybody help me with that? thanks
Is it even the same kind of sensor? I have not heard of it before. Seems cool though. Maybe a samsung specific feature?

Anyone having this problem? I switched my lock screen security over to the fingerprint scanner the other day, and I seem to be having some problems with it. It works ok. Like I can scan my finger, and the screen will unlock, but I keep randomly also getting asked for my alternate password, which is the other way that I can unlock it.
I'll unlock the screen with my fingerprint, then it will ask me for my password. I can hit Cancel, and it will still work fine, or if I enter the password, it takes me to the Lock Screen settings. It also randomly asks for my password if I'm just doing something random, like using Google Maps. And now, sometimes the screen won't even come on, when I wake the device. Black screen, backlighting lights up. What the heck??? Very strange. Please help, thanks in advance,

I used the finger print scanner for a couple of weeks but went back to a pin because it was just quicker to unlock the device. The only time I got the "alternate password" was when I exceeded the five or six tries you get with the finger print scanner. Are you rooted and if so what apps/services do you have frozen?

Thanks for the reply! So, basically after failing to unlock with your fingerprint five or six times, it stopped letting you swipe the scanner, and prompted you for your password? Or did it unlock with your fingerprint on the fifth or sixth try, and THEN ask you for your password? Just wondering.
To answer your other quesiton, I am not rooted, but I do have a number of apps "Turned Off" via the Application Manager. They are:
Accessories
Amazon
Amazon Kindle
Amazon Appstore
Caller Name ID
Drive
Flipboard
Google Play Games
Google Play Movies & TV
Google Play Music
Google Play Newsstand
Hangouts
IMDb
Isis Mobile Wallet
Memo
POLARIS Office 5
Slacker
Verizon Tones
VZ Navigator
Should I not have any of these disabled? Thanks again!

It would not unlock the phone, I would have to enter the password to proceed. The apps you have turned off should not cause you a problem.

Hmm intersting. So, my problem is different. Anyway, good to know that the apps I have disabled shouldn't cause a problem.
Well, the only other thing I can think of is that maybe an app I recently got is causing the Lock Screen to go haywire. A couple weeks ago, I got an app called Worx Home from my workplace that allows me to check my work email on my phone. It actually forced me to have a security setting enabled on my lock screen, so maybe it's messing with it. I don't recall having this problem when I first got the phone, and tried out the fingerprint lock. Maybe I should mess with that app.
Anyway thanks for the replies.

Yeah, it sounds as if Worx Home could be your culprit.

Yeah, I think that's a safe bet. In fact, if I read the documentation correctly for Worx Home, the app checks your phone's security every 6 hours to make sure you have a password, pin or pattern setup on your lock screen. Guess maybe it doesn't like the fingerprint scanner since it's such a new feature, and it tries to pull up my Lock Screen Settings, hence the random Alternate Password screen.
Alright, guess I gotta either suck it up, or switch to a pattern or something. Thanks again!
P.S. Can disabling S-Voice or Samsung Messages cause any problems?
Does anyone know if is it possible ? some apps on play store do this job for some samsung galaxy phones, but they are not free or simple or light.
which apps, can you list them?
i would also like to use that button, as i dont use fingerprint security
for the galaxys with fingerprint, i know the easyHome app.
hello. is there an app that allow this? i want to access simply in one touch, i listened that samsung s8 has this native function and i hope that lg g6 has an app to do this. thanks
do you mean use your fingerprint to log onto websites instead of inputting your username and password? That works on Samsung devices using Samsung's internet browser. Perhaps you can download a browser that has this functions, but I don't think it's possible with the Chrome browser.
thanks, i hope anyone know this important function
I just got my Galaxy S8 Plus.
I love google Chrome browser iv been using it my whole life. It seems when ever i lock the screen any dowload on chrome says pending after a while. Then i have to unlock and pause resume to make it download. Its really annoying. Does anyone know a fix?
Thank you.
Use ADM or any other download manager.
Well yeah i could do that. But i wanted to know why this is happening. I mean has anyone ever had an issue like this with chrome?
Anyway thanks.
So I know you need to use the Ambient Display / wake on tap to use the fingerprint reader.
But can you use it for regular fingerprint apps, like a banking app?
I tried finding information about this in Youtube comments and whatnot, but no one replied.
Thanks!
The banking app I use along with other apps that use fingerprint work fine with a fingerprint.
It works with my 2 banking apps.
Also works with other, non banking apps...
Works for me as well, ABN Amro in the Netherlands.
Yes. Works just fine using Numbrs.
It works exactly the same as every other fingerprint reader, so yes.
I can relate. With my Samsung Galaxy S7 my Wells Fargo app would allow me fingerprint to sign in option, not anymore on the OP6T. But on the Cash app, to deposit money it presents the option for fingerprint yet oddly enough only receiving - not when sending money
Yes, works fine
Works with my PNC, Paypal and also MyBuick app
That is very weird. Maybe the app is too old? Or OnePlus has to fix the firmware?
Working on all four of my bank apps
So it was actually well hidden in the settings but I got it to work lol. Thanks for the doubt guys.
Working well with all my bank apps (CapitalOne, BoA, etc)

Works with Barclays in the UK also(Banking and PingIt).
Works fine with USAA, CapitalOne, KeePass, Authy and everything else I've used it for.
Works with Chase, JP Morgan, Citi, American Express, discover, and google pay.
. Yes, you can use fingerprint reader for logging in to your online banking account. Have it set up before you download a banking app, once you go through initial login /password /secret words, etc, a pop up window will ask you if you want to use fingerprint for future logins. Tap yes of course and it should work. Same is for PayPal, ebay for instance
Like everyone else said it works just like any other fingerprint scanner.
PayPal and Bank of America works fine with it.
@Elloco305 the phone settings or the bank app settings?
