Is it possible to use the fingerprint to quickly unlock apps, but no the phone? I'd prefer to use a pattern only to unlock the device.
Hey,
Check this one :

Works fine for me

I use MaxLock which allows you to unlock apps with Fingerprint. The problem is for apps like Lasptass for example. Fingerprint unlock won't work unless you also unlock the phone via fingerprint.
I use the free version of App Locker and like it. The pro version removes ads and I plan to do that eventually.

I heard a while ago there would be a way to bypass your lockscreen if your moto 360 is connected. Is there a way to do this through a 3rd party or root?
It's built- in in lollipop...

You can do it with "Tasker" and "Secure Settings" also, Got it running on mine.
If u have xposed framework. Install no lock home. Works with fingerprint scanner too.

Thanks, I'll have to check that one out. Here's the XDA thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-lock-home-v0-1-wifi-unlock-t2799087
Dislock (formerly Pebble Locker) from the Play Store also works. It only supports one device and does not support any lock other than pin or password, but it's free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lukekorth.pebblelocker.
"Wear Unlock" in the app store does the job, works fine for the rest of us not on lollipop yet.
Is there any app that lets you use the fingerprint scanner to lock 3rd party apps??
Well, Dashlane supports the Imprint to unlock your saved stuff in the app.
Evolve SMS and robinhood
I second Robinhood, works great.
Enpass. You still need to enter password to unlock the first time. But you can then use Imprint to unlock after that.
I'm talking about locking apps like my bank app Etc.

On Lollipop the V10 used it's own fingerprint software for the lockscreen. After the MM upgrade, the Google fingerprint thing is now integrated into the system. That means now you can use your finterprints to unlock apps. A popular app that was not supported while on Lollipop works perfectly fine now:
App Lock: Fingerprint&Password by KeepSafe
If you find other apps which support fingerprint unlocking, please post it below.

Dropbox can be unlocked with a fingerprint as well. The option can be found in settings, where you set your PIN.

Appreciate the heads up about keepass2android. Works so much better than keepassdroid. Now if I could figure out how to automate the export of lastpass to a csv file I'd be set.

MaxLock (xposed) can use fingerprint too on my v10. I lock all apps I want with maxlock and i can unlock all of them using fingerprint. I was surprised when i saw it because i didn't know maxlock can be used with fingerprint. It's amazing
Hi!
Can't figure this out.
Want to unlock certain apps (Amex, Bank) via fingerprint , but don't want it for unlocking phone (just swipe is enough for me).
Is this not possible???
Thank you!!

It is possible, just download any 3rd party app locker. Most of them come with finger print support.
Not the safest option out there but Be sure to lock settings as well because someone can easily uninstall the app from app manager.
Thank you for your reply.
Maybe I did not explain myself well enough.
Some apps use the fingerprint mechanism to unlock themselves without password.
So let's say your bank app. Instead of putting the long password every time, and if the devs implemented it, you can LOGIN via fingerprint.
That's great.
The problem is that I don't see an option to disable fingerprint for unlocking the device while still using that for app login.
It works just like that on my iPhone. For some reason I either am missing something, or Android just won't allow you to do this.....

I'm getting your point. You don't want anything on your lock screen but passwords(or fingerprint) on your sensitive apps . Android doesn't natively supports it (maybe a custom ROM had this). If you can root and install Xposed (rooting can make some banking apps unusable), give max lock (Xposed module) a try. If you don't know what these are, I recommend you to rely on lockscreen (third party options aren't always safe)
Hi all,
My banking app does support using a fingerprint, but it will only work if I also use it on the lockscreen. However, I do not want a lock on my lockscreen (I just want to 'swipe' my lockscreen without any code or password). I'm currently rooted on OOS 11, is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Paul

There is not a banking app in this world that doesn't require either a passcode, password or fingerprint. However you do not need to enable Fingerprint in any banking app I ever used, it is optional. You do need a passcode or password for obvious reasons.
Ah I don't think I explained it well. Indeed my bank app requires a pincode for me, however I would like to use my fingerprint, but that's not possible since I don't have one set up in my phone. If I set up a fingerprint, I always need to unlock my phone with my fingerprint which I don't like. I understand and want my banking apps to ask for some kind of password of course

Yeah I just tried disabling passcode for lockscreen and it states it will remove all fingerprints as well. So it looks like the way you would like will not work. Remember you can always swipe up on lockscreen bypassing fingerprint and instead put in passcode/password. You can set up fingerprints however you do not have to use them.
