Fall back to pattern lock if fingerprint not recognised Can I make my phone fall back to pattern lock (instead of password) if the fingerprint isn't recognised? I've got a Samsung Galaxy S6 with the stock rom, Android version 5.1.1. Ideally I'd like a way of doing this without rooting the device.
As you have seen yourself, that is not the standard procedure. Hence, if you like to have that I would suggest to have a look at Trust Agents (Smart Lock feature uses them). You probably could write your own Trust Agent app that checks for failed fingerprint authentications and then call the pattern authentication.
