What's the point to have a fingerprint scan if all you need is the PIN code to unlock the phone?
I have look ever where to see if I can disable the PIN (or swipe, password etc..) and use biometric security only, but it seems impossible.
Am I missing something here?

Hi,
PIN/Password/pattern cannot be circumvented. This is a security feature.
Refer attached screenshot.

It only make sense if Samsung biometric security is less secure than a PIN code.

Agreed that it's not secure as secure as Biometrics. However, its a required feature for remote unlocking via Find my mobile.

There also always needs to be a fall back for Biometric failure, be that hardware, software, or the loss of your fingers!
As a DF practitioner then I can assure you that passwords can be as, if not more, secure than Biometrics 😉

it's very insecured when you have a large screen that flash the code that you just typed in, even if it just flash for 0.5 seconds. for the policy, it says it needs to enter PIN if fingerprint is used, for every 72 hours. but why it keeps asking me like every few minutes? .......
