Fingerprint lock on apps in secured folder

[kkreddy]

Not working! IN Android 15(ONE UI 7.0) apps with fingerprint lock are gone now. Seems like they removed it on One UI 8.0. Every app is asking now to enter password. 

IS IT INTENTIONAL ?? Are you also facing the same issue ?

I haven't experienced this issue, are you on OneUI 8 Beta or OneUI 7?

I am a little confused, Unless Android 16 was a typo.

OneUI 8.0. I've issue with each individual app in secure folder, fingerprint lock was enabled during 7.0 but in 8.0 beta each app is requesting password to enter

Fingerprints were changed in one ui 8. You now have separate fingerprint storage for the normal phone and for the secure folder.

Meaning go into secure folder settings and set new fingerprints

Mine aint working either and everytime I click on it, it says decrypt

Hello @kkreddy,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Please also share an error report via the Samsung Members app for investigation.

As well as adding your fingerprints to access the phone you need to add your fingerprints to access the secure folder.
Once you done that you can use fingerprint access on your apps once again.
I had this problem and highlighted that it is not made very clear in the instructions.

Seems that The fingerprint info for the secure folder is now stored inside the secure folder itself. So, different "fingerprints" than outside of secure folder. You have to register new fingerprints inside the secure folder for apps to be able to use it

After a couple of days using the One UI 8 official release, I just figured out that Secure Folder now uses different prints that have to be setup separately. 

Thanks for the info @arianwen27 and others!

I've this problem but can't see where to add fingerprints in the secure folder settings. Can someone maybe point to where to add  these? Upgraded to One UI 8.0 on a S24 the other day.

But when I search for this feature for One UI 8 it says that secure folder uses the old fingerprints but you can change this to fingerprints which only applies to the secure folder. Maybe not all apps can use the global fingerprint settings but must use the specific secure folder fingerprints....
