Using biometric authentication

If your device supports fingerprint authentication, you can turn on biometric authentication after the first successful log in.

Prerequisites

  • Your device is using Android 6 (Marshmallow) or higher
  • Your device has a fingerprint sensor
  • You have enrolled a fingerprint with Android

If you do not have biometric authentication set up on your device or if your device does not support biometric authentication, Settings > Preferences – Android OS Support > Use fingerprint to authenticate does not show.

Enabling biometric authentication

If you enable biometric log in, any fingerprint authentication profiles stored on your device can be used to log in to Bria. Do not store profiles other than your own on your device.

  1. Turn Settings > Preferences – Additional > Use fingerprint to authenticate on.

The next time you log in, you can choose to use biometric login or to manually enter your login credentials.

  1. Tap Bria to launch Bria. The Confirm fingerprint to continue pop up opens in front of the log in screen.

    "Touch sensor" is on "Confirm fingerprint to continue".

  2. Place your finger on the sensor.

If your fingerprint is a match, Bria opens.

"Fingerprint recognized" is on "Confirm fingerprint to continue".

  1. Tap Bria to launch Bria. The Confirm fingerprint to continue pop up opens in front of the log in screen.

If you have too many failed attempts, you must use your password to log in. The number of failed attempts allowed and the length of time you are locked out from using biometric authentication is determined by the Android OS.
