Honest question: why are people keen on fingerprint sensors? I see this regularly. Is it privacy concerns with FaceID or convenience with a mask on, or...?
The SE is already unlocked by the time it’s out of my pocket, so I just see HN right away instead of holding it in front of me, looking at it, swiping up to authenticate and then seeing HN.
Bonus that it works in stores with a mask on so I don’t have to type my passcode in public as a result of a FaceID phone seeing the mask and popping up the passcode prompt, or pulling down my mask temporarily.
I’m constantly trying to accommodate FaceID.
Like 75% of the time when I’m unlocking my phone it’s either laying on my desk or I’m laying in bed. FaceID rarely works for me in these situations.
My wife eventually just turned it off on her phone and went to purely using a passcode because it failed to work so often it was less annoying to go straight to the passcode prompt rather than wait for FaceID to timeout first.
TouchID failed constantly when I had recently showered or washed my hands.
