IksNorTen it will be like a new install , yes .
I had to backup my files , pictures, individually via desktop . texts , call logs and contacts via SMS import export app. Signal has a built in backup feature . as for other apps you will have to see what's offered . seedvault is useless.

      IksNorTen Before you go erasing your entire device, you might want to cross reference what your read on here. I'm not saying it won't solve the issue, but I haven't seen any proof. Just because someone somewhere is claiming they're not experiencing it after reinstalling OS is nothing to go by. I don't experience it for days at a time until I do.

          Skyway No, with Android 14 started this issue on my phone. With Android 13 never had this issue. Fingerprint shows up quickly and is replaced by the lock, so I need to enter pin every time.

              Same problem here: fingerprint unlock through different profiles doesn't work. I'm a new user, but I'm surprised that this bug has been going on for months. The only solution know so is a complete re-install? :(

                No indication any of this works, please don't factory reset or reinstall for nothing. GitHub issue is still there.

                    [deleted] Thanks mate, will follow this thread and the GitHub's one to monitor things

                      Same. On a P7 I never had this fingerprint issue with A13 but now it just began happening.

                      UP1A.231005.007.2023101300

                        This has not been an issue for me after I upgraded to A14 GOS. Currently on UP1A.231005.007.2023101300

                        Although, when switching profiles, I have to wait 3 seconds before fingerprint unlock becomes available.

                          Not every time for me. Sometimes it's just PIN lock and no way around it.

                            My password is not quite as long - but I also find it annoying.

                            I also think it's a security issue if I'm forced to enter my password in public (and possibly be watched while doing so) because the fingerprint doesn't work...

                              A workaround for this is to unlock the device then open any app that uses the FP, like Bitwarden or other, then access the app using the FP. After that, FP in lockscreen was available and functional again

                                Thanks a lot, I'll give it a try. Entering the security settings menu and disable/enable the fingerprints brings back the functionality as well. But your approach sounds to be little bit easier.

                                BTW I'm facing this issue since A13 and it continues similar (not same!) with A14. If I remember correct, the fingerprint icon was not shown at all with A13 but with A14 it shows up briefly and changes to the lock icon after approx 0.5s.

                                  This seems to be happening more and more when switching profiles, it's incredibly annoying. As above, would rather not have to enter PIN, especially when out in public.

                                  We are soon 6 months after this bug was explored and there will be no fixes to this behavior from upstream.
                                  Only hope we have is to have a grapheneos developer willingness to solve this for us

                                  GhostLead Interesting workaround. I have tested it, but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. 😔
