What are you using to unlock your s8?

[MikeLW1984]

I have the S8+ and am finding the unlocking options a pain. I'm right handed and it is extremely hard to reach the fps holding in my right hand. I can reach it easily if I hold it with my left. The iris scanner won't work at all for me. Apparently my eyes don't open wide enough to use it. I have to physically force my eyes more open for it to work. Finally facial recognition, I thought this would work well but if I'm not sitting or standing in practically the same position as when I set it up it won't recognize my face. Anyone else having the same problem?

Using the finger print sensor and love it. But I'm sure having long fingers help. It took me about half a day to find the sweet spot but now it's first try every time.

Iris works like a champ for me. I love it!

I'd have to agree. I've already gotten into the habit of looking at the iris scanner. The fingerprint gets used regularly too.

Fingerprint since it's the quickest way to the home screen. All others are a 2 step process (unless I'm missing something)

BTW the location of the scanner works just fine if you have a case on it

Agreed, works fine with my Ringke Onyx case.

I also use a combo of FPS and Iris - whichever is more convenient at the time. It's actually quite easy to unlock.

I'm using facial recognition and fingerprint. Haven't had a chance to use fingerprint as facial has been flawless so far.

I'm using face recognition at home along with the FPS. At work, I'll use the iris scanner and FPS.

I find that facial recognition doesn't work very well in low light.

 

[Viscomi4444]

It's worked for me in dark rooms with the only light coming from my phone.

Fingerprint scanner for me.

Mostly Iris

 

[Ddust14]

Fingerprint is as flawless as the one on the pixel.

 

[Byron Hinson1]

Iris and fingerprint for me. Inside the house it's iris. Outside and work it's fingerprint so I look less of a Muppet.

I am using Iris scanner and 4 digit pin. Iris scanner is real fast. Thinking of trying fast lock at home and car.

How did you guys set up the iris scanner? Whenever I have tried it just says did not recognise iris try again and I've tried in different lighting conditions and holding my S8 plus at different distances away

 

[frellingfrakker]

Iris scanner with fps in the dark.

 

[Ziich47]

I use the fps in the s8 without a case and Iris scanner with case. The scanner has been very fast for me

 

[Jaycemiskel]

I'm using the fingerprint, glasses + darkened/pitch black rooms makes face and iris not usable.

Radiology?

I'm using fingerprint, iris, and pattern. Find myself using the pattern a lot.

Verizon S8+

I am using the iris scanner. It is very fast under normal light - not in direct sunlight. I do not even see the camera rectangle.

I used it last night in the bedroom with the lights out and it worked. It took a a couple of seconds, but it worked.

The iris scanner worked before and after the update.
