Fingerprint bug

[Venom0642]

Samsung needs to fix this bug i haven't tried it on my S23 Ultra, but on S24 Ultra if you have rubber gloves on it will work on the fingerprint i tried about 10x with thumb and the other 2 fingers and it unlocks the phone this rubber gloves from work.

Just tried it with my S23 Ultra it opens the fingerprint lock as well with rubber gloves.

This really isn't good news! I just posted in another thread that I've become concerned about Samsungs lack of privacy and security. If anyone can go right through the fingerprint lock then banking and financial apps on your phone may be totally compromised. If you use the Samsung Password app for fingerprint logins to those apps you could be screwed.

I just tried with my Z Fold6 using foodservice grade nitrile gloves and it didn't work. I will try later with my S24 Ultra which isn't with me right now.

I'll try with my work gloves similar to what doctors use tomorrow on my s24u

Thanks for this info. It's alarming.

Would reporting it through the Samsung Members App work?

Would reporting it through the Samsung Members App work?

it would serve as another, more direct, approach. those error reports also include a log from the user's phone/watch
