I.e. if you have > configured for fingerprint, you can't get in with a PIN and vice versa. My bank app asks for a pin, but a button makes it ask for the fingerprint instead. Notice that the app uses the OS for the actual fingerprint code. The app did not ask me to "calibrate" with my finger, it just accepts that OS says "yes, this is the proper finger". Maybe it would accept my face as well, I have not tried. Generically, biometrics. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;
