I don't have phone with fingerprint scanner, so I can't test this. But fingerprint readers are generally not safe (you can spoof someones fingerprints relatively easily). You should use PIN or password instead if you really want security.
I also don't have a phone with a fingerprint reader, but there might be a bug hidden here. From reading the code, I believe that the counter of wrong passwords is not reset, if you login with a fingerprint. Assume that your setting is that the device shuts down after 3 wrong passwords. I think the follwing happens:
Maybe @utack can test this.
It would be really cool to have too many attempts on the fingerprint sensor count like wrong pin attempts and make it shut down. Maybe at some point you find time for it? Thanks
