Suddenly my apps no longer request for my fingerprint to open and I need to use a password. This is across the board on all my password apps that I use a fingerprint scanner to access. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Update: was my works security profile (for according work email and calendar). Uninstalled it and fingerprint sensor will log into apps. This must have been a new change to the security profile.

I use the native email app for my microsoft exchange work email, which requires a pin. is there a way to disable the pin and allow for fingerprint on the lockscreen?

I haven't gotten mine yet to check, but I'm going to assume that if Samsung disabled fingerprint for exchange security that there probably isn't a way to do so. IF (and this might be a big 'if' at this point) root is achieved, I'd venture to guess that an exchange security bypass would be developed allowing for the fingerprint security to work. One can hope, right?
I notice whenever you use the native email app you're always locked in with the Pin because it access my company's admin security. I haven't seen any other way to remove it even with root. But I hope! It's kind of silly because Samsung should know folks would be using microsoft exchange and why would it allow the pin to override the fingerprint?
When I add an Exchange account to my phone, the device administrator that is forced by corporate policy disables the pattern lock option. It forces me to set a password or PIN, both of which I dislike. I came to the N6 from HTC One, where I used to get around this issue by installing an Xposed module to bypass Exchange security, and then set the pattern lock which at that point was optional. With the N6 we don't have Xposed yet, so I am wondering is there any other way to get the pattern lock as a possible option? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, running the latest 5.0.1 build.
Thanks
Hello everyone,
I have set up 2 users on my Android, one user has no gsuite account and one user does have.
The Google assistant works perfectly on the main user without the gsuite account until I switch to the other user, of course because the Google assistant does not support gsuite.
However, I did not expect that this would affect the main user, because whenever I go back to the main user the Google assistant stops responding to access with voice match and sometimes also to squeeze actions.
Trying to go to settings to reactivate the "access with voice match" does not work.
This issue is resolved temporarily if I turn off and on the microphone access for "Google" and then turn on "access with voice match".
Any suggestions or workarounds to bypass this?

If your other account with GSuite is a work account, you can setup a work profile on the phone.
This is a Google issue that they have not fixed yet.

That's what I did, but when I go back to the regular profile (the owner user) the ok Google detection turns off, see the original post for explanation.
Is anyone on here familiar with bitwarden? I just recently imported over 50 different passwords and logins into the app. And I was able to use my face unlock to secure it.
Maybe I read this incorrectly, but I heard somewhere on Reddit that you can use face unlock to bypass the auto-fill.
So for example, when using a bank app that doesn't support face unlock instead of autofill you can substitute it with face unlock through bitwarden. Is that correct or is there a way to do that? Scotiabank does support face unlock so that's been great but TD Bank does not. And I was hoping I could use this bitwarden trick to make use of the face unlock.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure what you mean by "bypass autofill", but Bitwarden works great for this (so does LastPass, BTW).
When you open your banking (or whatever...) app, just tap in the username or password field. You should see a prompt to "autofill with Bitwarden"; tap that. Then assuming you've set up Bitwarden face unlock, you'll be able to unlock the vault with your face and Bitwarden will show you the list of matching logins; just tap one and it will autofill the username/password.
Some one-time setup for each login might be needed, in particular if the URI saved in Bitwarden is the website URL and android app's package name does not match the website. In those cases, choose "autofill and save" to remember the association after searching for the login.

Thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. What I meant by bypass was essentially when the pop up to autofill shows up. I was hoping to click on the pop up and then it would go to the face unlock once that was done it would automatically input the information and log me in I was hoping to avoid that other step of having to find the correct login in the vault. Is there a way to do that?
Because with Scotiabank supporting face recognition all I have to do when I open the app is click on use face unlock and it just prompted in automatically unlocks my banking app. sometimes I don't even have to push a button the face unlock automatically shows up when the app is opened.

It's not as seamless as when app the app supports face unlock directly. But it should still only be one or two taps. There are three possible scenarios:
If the login is not yet associated with the app: you'll have to search for the login, or it may pop up as a suggestion. This should only happen once; after you choose "Yes, and Save", the association will be saved
After the login is associated, if your vault is locked at the moment: two taps: first tap to "go to my vault", which will do the face recognition, second tap will be on the associated login which will automatically pop up
After the login is associated, if your vault is unlocked at the moment (e.g. because you just used it a few minutes ago): one tap: the name of the login will pop up by the username/password field with Android's autofill support, you just need to tap it.
I like Samsung Pass which I can login to both android apps & websites
It seems other password manager can only login to websites and not apps
Is this correct?
or am just missing how to login using other password manager to android apps?
BitWarden and LastPass can fill apps too. Depending on various aspects, they are not 100% accurate (sometimes you might have to search for the app manually).
I use Dashlane on PC and Phone. On Android password apps can use the auto-fill feature of the keyboard. Except in Samsung Browser and Keyboard, it seems Samsung is only allowing their own password app.
