Any kind of running current list of apps that work with fingerprint sensor, i.e. banking apps? TIA
For me, I'm using Bank of America app and Finger Security.
Last pass as well

FingerSecurity Lock/unlock specific apps with fingerprint.
Enpass Another password manager with fingerprint based website auto-fill.
Any other good ones out there?

Material messaging lets you use the fingerprint scanner to open the app if you want https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.project.materialmessaging

Chase Bank needs to step up and intgrate fingerprint security!
dont worry, google implemented fingerprint scanner support natively in marshmallow...there are tons of apps coming that will support fingerprint...

Now you can lock your mobile apps using your fingerprint.
• No Peaking in recent apps
• Fully optimized
• No battery Drain
Note :
• you must register your fingerprint in your device
[Settings]> [Security]> [Nexus Imprint]
• Turn On Accessibility Service , this app will not work without enabling it.
[Settings]>[Accessibility]> turn on > [App Locker : Service]
• Enable Device Admin to prevent unauthorized uninstall.
[Settings]> [Security]> [Device Administrators]> turn on > [App Locker]
Please let me know your thoughts and review.
paid version will be uploaded soon.

I've installed and will give feedback.
Needs a timeout. Once you open an app it should record that the app is open and if you switch tasks it should not lock you out until a timeout timer has expired.
I just released pro version without ads.
@ tech_head thanks i'll definitely implement that feature
How about sorting and filtering by enabled/disabled apps?
Other than that, this app is just friggin' incredible
Awesome app. Purchased.
Request: Would be nice to have a widget or option to enable or disable the app lock feature. When im home i dont want it on. When im at work i do. Right now i have to uncheck all the boxes one at a time. A toggle to turn on and off the ability without losing ur app selections would be nice.

Might I suggest an alternative suggestion? Whitelist WiFi BSSIDs, so app knows when it's at home, therefore doing things automatically.
Does the pro version only included no ads??
App is really good! Just gotten the paid version to support you! Prevent friends and family from assessing my data!
Request: would be nice to be able to lock apps without having to have a security feature enabled on the device. I just like swipe to unlock but would like to protect some apps
Same here, I don't use a lock screen but would like to lock apps.
Thank you for your efforts, but may we find a way to lock app by fingerprint without passing lock screen fingerprint register?

fingerprint api does not work if you have not registered the fingerprint in nexus imprint , so at this time it is not possible.
but if google allow this in future , i'll definitely implement this feature.

No. Because that takes away options. What if I'm having a party at home and give my phone to a friend to check out a funny pic or leave it on and open with Spotify playing to my audio system and people can chose a song. I'd rather then turn the feature on at home so people don't snoop.
It shouldnt be location based... It should require positive user intervention for the sake of most flexibility.
And to make sure someone else doesn't turn off the feature themselves, when the widget is pressed to turn app lock on or off, it asks for finger print as verification to make sure it's you that tapped it.
I have some Google Rewards credits, I will use them to purchase as well.
Some feedback. It should be "No Peeking" not "No Peaking".
And after install, the "App Locker: Need Permissions"
"Locker" is spelled as "Locer"
Unless that was intentional for some reason.
I'll give you some more feedback as well.
Sorry to be a "Grammar Nazi", but people don't trust apps if they have spelling mistakes etc.

i am really happy that you found these mistakes. today i'll be fixing that , and some more optimization.
Here is the future plan.
update 1= some performance optimizations. (today or max tomorrow)
update 2=UI improvement + option to add interval between next lock. (and some custom features depending on your feedback ) (this weekend)
update 3=password + pattern locking. (next weekend)
I think what we're missing here, is a false screen of some sort. My girlfriend absolutely hates that I'm friends with some people, and likes to snoop. Instead of blatantly requesting a finger print, maybe add a plain black screen that has a "unfortunately this application has stopped unexpectedly" or what ever the default force close message is, with no visible request for a Finger Print, but the scanner is ready and waiting. There's an app on the market that does this, but I'd feel better paying a developer on xda than a company thats probably data mining my "hidden" apps. Cheers!

Hey guys,
I've successfully built something similar to Google Pixel's Fingerprint Notification Gesture. Just install the APK, grant it root access and you're good to go.
NOTES:
There's a similar app made by another developer, and this is in no way affiliated to it. End product is the same though it's accomplished in different ways. Read further to know the differences.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Nexus 6P rooted with SuperSu
2. Android 6.0+ (should work with lower APIs too - haven't tested)
BUGS:
It takes a while to start listening for fingerprints after a complete boot and after you unlock your phone. In the former case, it takes longer for the service to start.
DESCRIPTION:
We all have heard about the Google's new Pixel's fingerprint swipes to accomplish tasks. For the ones who aren't aware, the Pixel lets you swipe down it's fingerprint sensor to simulate a swipe down on your notification bar / status bar to pull it down and a swipe up, to pull it up. This app accomplishes something similar.
A single short tap on the sensor pulls down the notification / status bar and a long press on the sensor pulls it back up, irrespective of whether the finger in subject is registered for authentication or not.
DISCLAIMER:
Make sure you always take a backup before testing. Thumb rule. I'm not responsible if you screw up your handset!
DOWNLOADS:
Fetch it from here.
Cheers and let me know.
worked on 7.0 (purenexus rom) with phh root r259 trough magisk. not only SuperSU.
i was eager to see if ur solution can detect swipe direction but that seems to really need hardware capabilities the 6P doesnt have sadly. looks like our sensor cant even detect swipes. just short taps and long taps.

It does not work after a while, whether it be falling asleep program.
have to click on the application shortcut, make it work again. You can somehow fix it !?

Yes indeed. After installing the APK in the system was working perfectly! Thank you!
Can anyone give an estimate on how long it takes to start working? Is there no way to force it to turn on?
Actually any info would be good. All i did was install the apk, reboot, a few minutes later supersu prompt came up. Nothing happens with the fingerprint sensor. Its going on 15 minutes.

Any other mods in relation with the fingerprint sensor on your phone? If not, it should work. Tested it on my friend's Nexus 6P today, it works fine. Try tapping the app in the Apps Drawer and then tap the fingerprint sensor? Do check out if the required permissions are granted by the Android system. Let me know.

Still not working. I did have a fingerprint app (forget exact name) but I uninstalled it. Which permissions specifically? When I go into it there are no permissions except to say it uses fingerprint sensor. It was granted superuser. Ive tried the shortcut numerous times.
A little more info--running PureNexus MM with elementalx and xposed (nothing that uses fingerprint) but plenty of gestures including swipe2wake, double tap wake.

Okay, quite uncanny. Even I'm running ElementalX, shouldn't be the thing. Kindly try reinstalling it?
There's a small bug I've spotted - if the feature doesn't work when the densornis tapped upon, simply lock and unlock your phone as a quick solution.
I'm sorry for this inconvenience. Will work on it to solve these bugs.

How do you get root access if it's a system app? I copied the apk to priv-app folder in system, rebooted, then installed the app as an update. Tried to get root access, but couldn't.

I gave it root access before installing it as a system app. But it works fine for me, not had any problems with root or anything. I should say though I'm using fingerprint quick action.

That's the one I'm using...do you just install the app first, then move the base.apk to priv-app folder? I tried moving the whole app folder over, but it didn't work. Thanks. BTW, I'm using EX File Explorer with root access to move the file.

Just move the PixelSwipe.apk into the /system/app/ directory. That works well for me.
Working as it's supposed to, no problems thus far.
Installed as a system app on the 7.1.1 dev preview.
Hey OP any chance of adding a double tap function in the future?

Personal I would love it to launch the weather home screen widget, but to launch and app or function even (ie screen off, flashlight, settings, screenshot, google now/assistant QS Tiles etc.) would also be welcomed
Our device can have upto 5 fingerprints. Does anyone know if there is some app that can lock the apps only with the fingerprint I specify.
Like for eg. I have 5 fingerprints of two different persons and I don't want the other person to unlock a specific app through his/her fingerprint.
Instead I specify that say that so and so app will be unlocked through Finger 1.
Is this even possible??

There's a feature called app locker in security and fingerprint and that allows to set up different apps to be opened only with fingerprint or other secured methods like pin password or pattern

No I don't think that's possible.

maybe download another app lock app from the play store and register only your fingerprints?

I dont think any such feature exist in Android. I had this feature in my jail broken iPhone where we can assign different actions for all registered fingerprints. I am also looking forward to get this feature in Android .

I have been having an issue lately, where I would try to login with my finger print scanner on my bank and credit card app and it makes me login with the password, because it says another finger print was added. The thing is there wasn't! It's been happening every other day now and I'm lost. Not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but if so help please!

I thought the same thing but it happened with my bank app and my credit card app, two different companies.
Do you guys use more than 1 finger ?
Or maybe more profiles for one and the same finger ?
I mean : Did you scanned the same finger a few times to get better recognition of fps ?

I had very similar experience with
my old Note 8. I registered fingerprint unlock , in banking app. When i want to open my banking app, with fingerprints,
and a login option would appear that i have to login with my pin.
Very frustrating.!
I originally pinpointed it to the 3rd party banking app, as all my other fingerprint
unlocks.....
eg Lockscreen, Secure Folder,. Password Manager app etc, etc worked fine.!
It was just the banking app giving me this issues.
Eventually after complaining repeatedly to my Bank (The app developer just ignored my emails) it was "fixed ".. months later!
if your Fingerprint Unlock,/ Secure
folder /Samsung Pay /Google Play /Samsung Store (payments options with fingerprints) works fine,
Then surely, it points towards the banking app, that has somec sort of "bug" ?
Yes /no ?
With my Note 9
i have had no issues with
either Device or banking apps.
Good luck.
Maybe its worth a try with only one FP-Profile ?
Just uninstall the app, deleete all your fp-profiles.
Setup a new profile with just one finger and scan it 1x.
Then restart phone, reinstall app and try it.
Maybe the bankingapps getting confused about all the profiles of fp ?
I mean : Its worth a try (?)
And yes, of course contact the app-dev.
Good luck to u all
Month later and 1 update, plus factory reset and I'm still having the same problem.
