So wait a minute--are the banks disabling fingerprint for EVERYONE because of this? How do they know if their app is on a Samsung phone vs. a Pixel, for example?

BOA disabled fps. Today. After I installed the patch. Odd. And installed Android 10 which also includes the patch along with the Nov security.

Apps frequently turn off fps after adding it changing biometrics and fingerprints.

I assume others are disabling fps as well, not just banks.

Did Bank of America enable their finger print sign in yet? I did the fingerprint update and redid my prints, but I still don't see that option in the BOA app. All other banking apps are fine.

I too got the update this morning and BOA still won't allow me to use fingerprints. So annoying. I'm considering deleting and reinstalling the app to see if that works.

Some banks in the UK did actually disable fingerprints. Bloody buggers.

Back to my question: did they release an update for everyone, that disabled fingerprints because of Samsung? Or do they have a way of knowing what manufacturer phone the app is on, and they disabled fingerprint only for Samsung users?
