Actually, that's not what I'm seeing on 1P8 on a Galaxy 22 Ultra. I had fingerprint but not face enabled. 1P8 either didn't acknowledge that a biometric unlock option was available or didn't use it.

I added a face, and 1P8 picked up on both biometric methods.

If I delete the face (after reading the discussion here), the biometric unlock stops working. I add the face again, and it's fine.

This isn't the same as needing to re-enter the account password to get a valid random key again. Even after going through the steps that should enable it and toggling the setting in 1P8 and going through the steps, run doesn't work.

I did try the process multiple times.
