Came across a program called LastPass. Now I am able to login to literally, anything with a login screen with my fingerprints. I use it with my bank, netflix, xda, games etc. Apps got a ravin review too so that helps. Downside is, it's a 2 week trial. I thought touch-wiz would have had this ability built in. Anyway, here are the steps I took.
Before you begin, the app will ask you if you'd like to use the fingerprint function. Choose yes.
Under Preference, check off "Enable Fingerprint Repromt."
1 - Once you're on the login screen of the app / site, a small will window will appear. Click Add Login.
2 - Enter the Username and Password Information
3 - Check off the "Require Password Reprompt" Box. Then Save.
ps1 - here's a long ass video on how it's security is bascially unhackable. aes256bit stuff. too complicated for me but makes it sound extremely secure. Start at 54 mins in.
ps2 - wow, I just did some more research on this program. it's freakin amazing. I actually logged onto it using the lastpass website on my pc. Downloaded the chrome extension. Now, I just logon to sites as usual and lastpass will keep it stored. So now, whatever site I login too, lastpass will fill it out for me securely. And now that I don't have to remember the passwords, I can have different random ones for each website. There are a other options I have yet to check out but this is defintely a winner in my books.

Out of thanks for today! I will definitely be looking into this!

It is a great app I have been using for a while now but it is not perfect. You have to sometimes load it manually before you visit a site that needs a login and sometimes you have to copy paste the username and password. However, it is still an outstanding app and I could not be without it.
Sweet! I remember trying this app out before on my note 3 and it was a pretty bad battery hog. Have you been running it long enough to get a sense of whether or not it still is? Also - how much does the subscription cost?
Are you saying this should allow a fingerprint scan to work as logon for websites? I answered yes to use fingerprint scanner, but can't get it to work. It just seems to enter password data, never asks for a finger scan.
Why does it need access to your camera and microphone?! Seems really cool but not cool with the permissions it needs.

Yeah, I use my finger print to logon. The beauty is now my password are crazy like #kdSDkok&! and different for each site. I don't have to remember them since the program does.
You need to make sure you check on, "require password prompt." when you edit the site.
Also under preference, make sure you check on, "enable fingerprint reprompt."
Seems fine on the battery so far but i'd have to use it longer to really know. The subscription is a dollar a month. If this works as intended for the next two weeks, ill def consider purchasing it.

Just saw this on lastpass today! Very cool. And yea, it does take up a lot of memory, relatively speaking.

Hey, this is just a thumbs-up for Lastpass. I've been using then for a couple years-ish and it's fantastic. Obviously the biggest draw is that you can use better passwords since you don't have to remember them and Lastpass will fill them in. I also agree that the app is fantastic and is great when paired with the fingerprint scanner. However, even if you don't use the scanner you can set it to accept a pin number to unlock Lastpass, which is what I used until I got my Note 4.
While their security is very good and they seem to be very transparent, just remember nothing is unhackable so....always be safe

I have 1 problem is: when installing fingerprint can I install multiple fingers is not? or just one finger? and I can do anything with fingerprints?

You have three slots so you can do three fingers or you can do the same finger multiple times which may increase accuracy. I would at least do two different fingers.

I do my left and right thumb, 15 times each. Also, now that a lot of you got a case, it's good to re-capture them if necessary. Made a video last night Here.
The whole finger print scanning to login apps is not true. The finger print scanning allows you to login lastpass app only, after which you have to tap the corresponding login info for every app so Fingerprint scanning doesn't let you log into apps just by swiping your fingers. It's still cool though but not as cool as I expected it to be. Thanks for sharing though
I generally dont put a lockscreen or anything on my phone. This app for work email called "good work" makes me put in a full on alphanumeric password EVERY TIME i use it. on iphone, you can just use TouchID until the next time the app quits and reboots, but on the S7e it makes me constantly put this cumbersome password in. Anyone know of an app i can use that will let me use fingerprint to log in?
on a side note, what calendar app do you guys use?
I use Good for Enterprise and only when you reboot you have to enter a pin after that fingerprint is fine. I think it really depends on the secuirty protocol your company chooses to apply, it's not Good specific. In other words you may have no choice.
Have a VP in your company ***** about it to IT and they will change it to allow finger print. (From experience)

I was going to say reach out to IT as well. My better half uses Good, as she (lucky) gets to work from home once in a while. In Online Support, I do not have that luxury.
If I was to aquire an E4 for parts that had a working fingerprint scanner, is there a possibility of me getting it to work on my metro variant with no scanner? I'm fairly knowledgeable when it comes to replacing phone parts with other phone parts but I'm curious if this would be possible.
It might be possible as long as the board on your device has the connections for the sensor or a place to add the connections. You'd need the firmware with the finger print scanner files for it to actually work though I would imagine.
Hmm time to start searching for parts

Any idea what the finger print scanner apps are? I'd like to remove the vibrate permission from it, but I can't guess what it is!

There are no apps specifically for the finger print scanner. It's all built into the whole system. What you want to do is probably not possible unless maybe if you decompile, modify, and recompile the framework and whatever system apps have something to do with it.

Blocking the vibration permission from the Android system with adb in cmd wouldn't work?

Maybe. That might block all vibrations for everything else though, unless you can block it for the fp scanner. don't have a fp scanner to try it or I would.
Anyone facing issue with finger scanner when unlock device directly going to samsung pay app after disable
had this issue once or twice personally, set google pay as the default and uninstall samsung pay from library tab of your play store, it makes you enter your pin an extra time for nothing compared to google pay anyway.
