Remove 72 Hour password requirements for fingerprints.

This is an unwanted nuisance that will never benefit me.

Why must I keep it enabled?

Hey there and welcome to the Samsung UK and EU Community Customer to Customer Forum

This isn't a general thing so must be a settings issue on your device?

I only get the instructions to use pin on occasion

I've never had this but I would advise storing 2 copies of each thumb 👍 works perfect for me

Only time i need a pin for my phone is on a restart, so only way I can see a 72 hour requirement is if you have your phone set to reboot every 3 days.

Its a forced security feature if you don't enter your password every 72 hours.

This leads me to think that Samsung Developers might have illegal content on their phones, which is why they require this kind of security "feature" for protection.

For the rest of us, this is simply ridiculous. Either eliminate it or provide us with the option to remove it from our devices for those who do not partake in illegal activities that necessitate such security.

Had I known this "feature" was on my Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7, I would not have purchased it. I won't be buying a Samsung product in the future if they have this "feature" installed.
