any other pixel 6 users lose their fingerprint and biometrics settings options completely after the latest update? - eviltoast

I’m on Android 13 not 14 and I’ve seen reports a few months ago about this happening for 14.

I’ve got no option to update or roll back and all fingerprint related settings and the fingerprint functionality have just vanished as if it’s not being detected at all.

very frustrating trying to remember passwords for all sorts of apps that expect biometric login.

anyone else see this or have a fix for it?

    no that’s not what I mean, I mean the setting is literally gone. there is no biometrics option.

    any app that I previously used fingerprint login glitches out trying to load the bio pop-up, there is no lock screen option, etc.

      For me it’s under Settings, Privacy and Security, Device Lock, Fingerprint Unlock. I removed my fingerprints from it the other day, though, because it was so inconsistent at unlocking my phone that it seemed faster to just use a numeric code.
