When you want to unlock an app with the alternative password then you need to push the app icon on the lockscreen :) NOTE: the alternative password is not the same as the alternative password you set when you registered your fingers. By default it is 1234. You can change it in the settings.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] SonyEX1:
Sorry but I don´t understand how you meen. When I open my protected app the "Fingerapp" starts. If I don´t drag my finger, how do I get the password notification. Sorry for my bad english :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
No problem. When you see the blue screen. There is the app icon from the protected app. When you click on that then you can enter the alternative password.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] SonyEX1:
Ok Thanks! But that doesn´t seems to work for me. I will check my settings :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
You have to enable the alternative password in the settings :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] SonyEX1:
Done that (it will shown blue) and I even change the password.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Okay then you are now able to push the app icon :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] SonyEX1:
Thanks! Think I got it. I had forgot to add that function on each app I had protected :) Now it works! Thank you for a VERY fast help!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] SonyEX1:
One more question :) Can I change so I use your program as fingerprotect instead of Samsung? I think your program is much better :D

EDIT: I mean at lockscreen :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
No, on the moment that is not possible. This is on my idea list :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jUsT2eXy:
Hi Rick.

I installed a new ROM and then restored your app via Titanium. It keeps saying Fingerprint not registered and I cannot get into the app.

I have paid for 2 extra unlocks.

Is there a folder I must delete first to get into the app.

I should have disabled it before reinstalling new rom.

Thanks

Edit://

I used 1234 to get back into app and reset it.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:

[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] :
Hey buddy. It's been a long time. Listen, first off, I'm gonna review your app on my website if and only if you're cool with that. It's not such a great website but it is growing to be. And also I wanted to know whether you have any plans to make a lockscreen out of this because, I really really want one of these if possible:

A lollipop lockscreen that requires u to swipe just like lollipop and then ask for finger print OR an external lockscreen from you so that I could use Samsung's swipe feature!

Thanks anyways. If there somehow is such a feature on your app or you make it I WILL Pay for it!
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Heej. Yeah it has been a long time. I have a lot of school work on the moment.... :$

Anyways, feel free to share FingerSecurity with your friends and or followers :)

I am planning on making a lockscreen but first I am finishing the material design version when I have less school work :D

Any chance the information (the 2d of the fingerprint) is being sent out from the device in any way to be databased anywhere? I just had to ask lol. Tbh I'd expect it more likely that the manufacturers or Google would be the ones doing stuff like this but these days, who knows.

Anyways, great app. Works quite well on various phones.

FingerSecurity does not have access to your fingerprints :) the recognition process is handled by Samsung.

Hey Rick,

is that App totally ready for Lollipop? since I updated my S5, the Fingerprint Screen doesnt work anymore on the Lockscreen, if I want to unlock the phone. Or is it Lollipop itself to avert it?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hello,

I am not sure why it is not working on your lockscreen. Maybe your fingerprint data has got corrupted during the update. If that is the case then FingerSecurity won't work either. BUT FingerSecurity is working fine on lollipop. So you may need to setup your fingerprints again but after that it should all work fine :)

The rom's fingerprint manager isn't accessible because of the wonderful bug where it rejects all registered prints and the backup password. Only way it's fixable is a factory reset (I haven't wanted to bother with that).

I'm checking out your app now...

Timeout Setting

Hi,

I thought the Timeout under Settings is designed like this:

1. Set the timeout for a fingerprint-guarded app (let's say Facebook) for like *30 seconds.

2. Open Facebook app

3. Open via fingerprint scanner

4. Once you are in, press the Samsung Home button.

5. Immediately (within *30 seconds)

6. THE APP SHALL REMAIN OPEN WITHOUT THE NEED FOR SECURITY.

I understand that the app is currently designed this way:

(After step 5 )

6. You will be prompted to swipe your finger as security.

There. Is it that efficient to consider the first 1-6 steps above as well? I find it with Great value.

Your thoughts?

Thank you.

Jeff
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Hello Jeff,

The timout option should work like you described :$

Could you check if you did not set a custom timeout ( like 0 sec.) for the app you are testings this on?

Sent from my SM-N915FY
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] santosjonjeffrey:
Thanks, Rick.

My timeout setting is set like this:

(Inside the Timeout setting)

Keep unlock until screen lock : No

Ignore screenlock : No

[30 Second(s)]

(Status when back key is pressed)

"Timeout

You have 30 Sec. to return to the protected app before it will be locked again"

There... Is it correct to anticipate an unlock app within 30 seconds? If yes, why the guarded app immediately require a security passkey via fingerprint. :$

Have tried setting it for 60 seconds, restarted my phone as well. Same was encountered.

Did i miss something?

===================
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
It sounds like it works.

When you leave the app you have 30 seconds to return to that app. (FingerSecurity itself is an exception. It does not have a timeout)

Sent from my SM-N915FY
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] santosjonjeffrey:
Hi Rick,

Yes, correct; when i leave the app I should have 30 seconds to return to that app ((*without the fingersecurity). please confirm*)). The problem is, why am i prompted fingersecurity even if i return to the app within 30 secs.?

==================

Just found this app today and I think it's great! Thanks for making it! I'll have to figure out which pro features I want to buy to support development :)

I'm assuming this isn't possible, but I noticed I can see the "protected" app for just a second if I press back at the fingerprint prompt screen, is it possible for it to not allow the user to see the app at all? (I'm guessing it's not possible as FingerSecurity is just covering up the app, not truly locking it. Just thought I'd ask :) Thanks again!

Moto 360

I'm trying to get my Moto 360 in as a Safe Location but nothing is happening (i'm connected to the device of course). I can set the WiFi as a safe location and it works but not my watch. Any ideas (g900f device running 4.4.2) ? Also my Moto is showed once with the bluetooth icon next to it and once with a watch icon next to it, tried only first one, then only second one, then both, no result.

Also it takes quite a long time for the app to become active after reboot and that kind of defeats the purpose of the app. Have you thought about creating a Xposed module because it should be directly linked to the framework and make it much faster (I think, but you should check with someone with experience). There is also a module out there that does the same thing but on my device it's unstable and asks me to unlock while changing screens in same app
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
When you want to use an android wear device as a safe location then you have to use the safe location with the watch icon. Then for FingerSecurity to know that your watch is connected you should reconnect your watch.

I am trying to fix the delay on boot :$

I have also thought of using the Xposed Framework since this would be more secure :D Unfortunately on the moment Xposed is not working on Samsung devices with lollipop..... :$ I am going to make an Xposed module since I think(hope) it is going to work with lollipop soon :)
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] jawzf:

Hi,

Is it normal that you always get a fast screen shot of the protected app before you get the fingersecurity screen?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
That depends on how fast your device is. For optimal performance you should keep the ongoing notification enabled. :D
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] easyvictem:
Thanx fot you reply i have s6 edge and what do you mean ongiong notofocation
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
FingerSecurity is always showing a notification. For optimal performance you should not disable this notification. It is the last option in the general settings. The option should be disabled so that the notification is shown.
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] easyvictem:
I am talking about the screen shot of the preotected app who appears very fast before you get the security inlog screen
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
I understand. Is the notification shown?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] easyvictem:
Yes, the notification is shown

does it eat battery cause it runs always in the background? and can i turn the notification from the app of the status bar?
[Galaxy S 5 Themes and Apps] Rick Clephas:
Yes FingerSecurity uses more battery then normal apps. FingerSecurity is designed to uses as less battery as possible. When the screen is off then FingerSecurity won't use more battery then other apps.

And yes you can disable the notification in the settings.(last option in the general settings) Please note that it may reduce the performance of FingerSecurity.
