I setup my fingerprint option and setup an alternative password. For the live of me I thought I picked a 4 digit number code last night but it's not accepting it today. What can I do?
It has to be two letters included with the password.
Your fingerprint isn't registering?

Yes, print works fine. Silly me forgot what I chose for the alternate password. That might help.
No, that didn't help. I have forgot the alternative password. The only way to unlock my phone is my fingerprint scan. This Sucks! There should be a way to recover it!
Hi, same happened to me yesterday, I cannot find a way to recover the "alternative password" for the fingerprint scanner. Have you found a solution yet? I guess a factory reset will do but I really don't want to do this after all the setup stuff I'm tru...
Solution
Found the solution: Delete all the fingerprints registered (verifying by fingerprint or alternative password) inside the Fingerprint manager. When all registered prints are removed, the lock screen will go back to swipe.

As an FYI; it has to be at least one letter instead of two. I wrote it down this time.

Kicking myself that I couldn't figure this out! I also somehow forgot my "alternative password" and this worked like a charm to reset it.
Thanks!

Thank you so much.
It's working.
Although this is a direct way, you won’t be able to see any of the options directly on
the lock screen because its hidden and you need to try the Alternative password for a few times until the “Unlock via Google” option appears.
It generally needs a minimum of 5 trials and fails for the Alternative password
before you go back to the lock screen and see the Google unlock option.

OR
You have two options:
Delete all fingerprints (by going into settings & long pressing on the finger print, selecting remove) and recreate them. This will also clear you alternate password.
Go to Android Device Manager, and setup the remote lock & erase feature if you haven't already. Once setup use the lock feature to reset your password. It will allow you to change your "screen-unlock" password

There are two ways on how to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S, follow these steps:
Method 1: To unlock your Samsung Galaxy S, you can use your Google username and password to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S,
but these requires internet connection to access your Google account.
Method 2: To unlock your Samsung Galaxy S, you need to hard reset your phone, to reset its password and restore default settings, but doing this process will also delete all save files and data on your phone.
Hard Reset:
1. Turn off your phone.
2. Press and hold Volume button up + Home button + power button to enter recovery option.
3. Use your Volume button to navigate option and use home button to confirm.
4. Navigate "Wipe out data/factory reset" and confirm.
5. Navigate "Yes -- delete all user data" and confirm.
6. Navigate "Reboot system now" and confirm.
7. Done. Note: Before your hard reset your phone, make sure that you backup first the important files and data.

Assuming the fingerprint scanner still works, unlock your phone, then go to settings - finger scanner - change alternative password, run your fingerprint then you will be able to set a new password. No need to delete your fingerprints this way.
I can not use finger print on my galaxy 5s any longer now it is asking for alternative password, which I do not remember, help, do not want to factory reset.
Hi, is it possible to change what happens when I press the camera button on my Xperia T? I would like it to start recording audio, so I can quickly and effortlessly start recording, rather then having to turn the screen on, navigate to the app, open, then press record.
Thanks
Yes,with a Xposed module called Xposed Additions.

I installed it but there's something wrong, when I run the app it says "Missing System Service: The service is not enabled. If you have just updated the module please reboot. Otherwise make sure xposedbridge is installed and that this module is enabled."
I do have a rooted phone.
You are new in this read something about xposed framework thats the only way to do that easier
OK I sorted out that problem, the app works fine now.
Does anyone know how to use this app? How do I set it to record audio on pressing the camera button?

You can't set it to record audio directly, as far as I know (never saw that in the options), but theoretically you should be able to set it to be able to open an app when pressing the camera button. You need to set conditions (while screen off or on), and then reasign the button to the function you want. It's not a complicated app.

I've been trying to find a tutorial or guide for this app but I can't. Either I'm stupid or it's not as easy as it seems.
Could someone help me out? I just want my audio recording app to launch when I press the camera button.

It's not that hard, you just need to press the "Buttons" (Configure button re-map settings), and set profiles for when the screen is on/off. As far as I know, you can't set it to open an app while the screen is off, you'd need the screen to be on first. Aside from that, you could also try reading the button labels/descriptions, which might help. Also, there aren't that many buttons either, so just start pressing buttons and see what they do.

All I can do for a button is add conditions. I can add conditions fine, but I can't see how to launch an app under those conditions.
Edit: Actually I figured it out but the program doesn't work.

I tested it out a few days ago, and it worked for me (used it to open a different camera app than the default one). Maybe it's the ROM you're on.

Have you guys heard of or found any apps that use the scanner? I found one called Last Pass which is actually pretty good. But I want more.

I use the Finger Security app which allows you to pick the apps you want to use the fingerprint scanner to secure when opening.

Cool app. Thanks for sharing the link.
You can set this app up to use your fingerprint to login instead of entering login credentials
Check out "LastPass Password Mgr Premium*"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lastpass.lpandroid
With LastPass you still have to enter in the primary password since fingerprint reader support is for reprompt only; or am I missing something in the settings? Any advice on how to set it up?
Edit: Never mind. Needed to set never log out option in addition to the fingerprint reprompt option.

when phone is on bed or table and you want to check time or notification you have to every time pick up phone and unlock it, thats very frustrating

if u need to read time and notifications without unlock the phone so u can use "wave lock" from play store and enable only the unlock,and for better response only cover the front camera by your hand or touch it to enter to lock screen to check time and notifications.
this application is battery friendly

He means the application that he just installed requested device administrator which ends up disabling the fingerprint scanner for security purposes. Are you able to use the fingerprint scanner fine when installing and using the unlock option provided with that?

Hi guys I just bought honor 5c nem-ul10(one which printed in my phone)/nem-l51 in indonesia. It has fingerprint and works fine. But it bothers me when the setting configuration for fingerprint can be used for shutter, swipe for notification, swipe for browse photo, etc. I turned on all that functions but my fingerprint cant do any othet than just for unlock phone and app lock security. Is there any explanation for this? Ive browse through the forum and seems not find any relatable topic. Thank you
mine works but only while its on upwards, not on landscape mode.
Is there anything I can do? But you are from finland right (your profile) so theres might be different configuration or smthg
