Note 8 Iris Scanner Problem

Hi, there might be some problem with my note 8.
I activate the instant unlock without swiping the lock screen for the iris recognition unlock.
the problem is something the iris camera will not shows up on the screen after i swipe up to check on the position of my eyes. it said 'if this keeps happening, please restart your phone'.
I wondering anything cause the iris camera not to appear on the screen.
The iris scanner still works well on capture my irises to unlock the phone, it is just that the iris camera do not appears on the screen (the one with the two circle to position your eyes).

Try factory resetting the device and check if the issue is still there. If yes, take the device to the samsung store for replacement. Mine works flawlessly. Much better than S8+ actually.

The iris scanner have no problem unlocking my phone, it is just that the iris camera with the two circles does not appear on the screen when iris scanner activated.

Face Unlock and Trusted Face

What is different between face unlock and trusted face?
Someone please explain me.
Trusted face is associated with the smart lock-feature which keep the phone unlocked when at home, on the move or when it recognize your face. This all requires that the phone has been unlocked already through usual means, password, pattern or fingerprint.
Face unlock however is when you can unlock your phone directly using just your face.

Face recognition glitch

Originally I had set up face recognition along with fingerprint reading to unlock my S10. I've been troubleshooting my problematic FPS so I went to disable face recognition however I noticed the lock screen is still expecting it and an error pops up at the top stating "There was a problem with your face data. Register your face again."
I've double checked that face recognition is not enabled anywhere, is there something I'm missing? It seems like the phone still thinks it is enabled even though I have no registered faces anymore
Can anyone duplicate this?
Try switching to security "none". This will delete all your fingerprints and face data. Then enable fingerprint unlock again.

Where can that be done? I tried setting the lock screen to pattern only and deleted my face and fingerprint data.
I reregistered a face a noticed that even with the face unlock off under Lock Screen -> Screen Lock Type, the phone is still trying to use it
I think a reboot after turning everything off did the trick!

Question Lock after screen timeout for the lockscreen is completely gone

Also called "lock timer" under secure lock settings. I can't find it anywhere in the settings! This has been a feature for years. I refuse to use face unlock or fingerprint unlock. This feature temporarily disabled the pattern or PIN unlock for a certain amount of time you set it. For example, you would only have to unlock your device every 2 minutes if you set it this way but during those 2 minutes you could turn your phone on and off without it asking for a password.

Yes! We need that feature again! What if your phone gets stolen in that period of time? People can unlock it no problem! I too searched everywhere without any luck!
Same d*mn thing on my OnePlus Nord. I need the screen to time out to save battery, but I want to manage security separately from battery - under most of my operational conditions, it's fine for the device to be able to be awakened withOUT having to re(-re(-re(-re...))))enter the PIN every few minutes just because the screen turned off to save energy.
It's completely wrong to take away the OPTION for us to choose this combination. Everyone has different security needs; we mustn't be shoved into one too-simplistic bucket!

Question No Fingerprint unlock at Bitwarden

Does anybody know why I can't use fingerprint unlock at Bitwarden? I can only use face unlock for biometric unlock
You have to disable completely the face recognition for it to work. I think it's a bug in the rom. Also when the phone doesn't see your face it switch to fingerprint after maybe 10 seconds of trying to recognize yourself
