How to set up fingerprint unlock on Honor 6A?

Question

Could please someone name the exact checkboxes I need (not) to tick on Honor 6A to have it unlock with my fingerprint? Fingerprint is configured and recognized in the settings, but the phone keeps asking for PIN every time.

Answer


Basically you have to set up a pin (or password) before you can enable
fingerprints on the device, and you will be always required to enter
the pin/password when you first boot or the first time you log into a
protected user account.




After that point, if you have the fingerprint enabled for unlocking, you can use the fingerprint to directly wake and log in if you are using the default lock screen.



Many users have observed that if you have installed anything that overrides the lock screen, this will stop working, and you will need to use the PIN again.
