google pixel 2 fingerprint hardware not available

Some users were able to get the option to re-register a fingerprint, but that results in an error, as seen from a screenshot shared on the site. In a bug report filed on the Google Issue Tracker website, several users have mentioned that the fingerprint enrolment option on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro also stops appearing in the Settings menu after recharging the battery and rebooting the phones. I know the Pixel 4 has this feature, but coming from an older Pixel which only has fingerprint authentication (which my fingers rarely work with), I absolutely love it Sure, masks cause problems (unless you have an Apple watch) but Face ID is so consistent and works so well that I really want to keep the iPhone for this alone.

In some cases, though, the fingerprint scanner on the Pixel 6 is found to be not that secure and can unlock the phone using an unregistered finger.Ī number of Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro users on Reddit have raised complaints about a bug that prevents the fingerprint scanner from unlocking once the phones fully run out of battery, and are restarted. Google responded to those users by saying that it is lagging due to “enhanced security algorithms”. The latest issue has emerged just days after various users of the Pixel 6 series complained about its unresponsive fingerprint scanner.

Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro fingerprint scanners are breaking for users that completely discharge their batteries, reports claim.
