Biometrics not working properly #132

Closed tulio150 closed 2 years ago

tulio150 commented 2 years ago

After activating biometrics, I get mutiple fingerprint requests, and sometimes after about 3 or 5 inputs, the app just closes.

Is there any kind of error message on failed attempts? Could this be just something like scanner not working properly and then phone reacting to too much unsuccessful attempts?

No error, just keeps asking for the fingerprint ant then just works or fail silently. Can't know for sure if it's in the phone or the app. Other apps are working fine. Phone has original firmware without root.

Biometrics should be removed anyway from a bitcoin wallet

Fixed in https://github.com/btcontract/wallet/commit/ce7ab77e9f34fada3e4769e4146445fa4b987644.

There's now an option to use a built in PIN in case if fingerprint does not work right for whatever reason or user wants to avoid it.
