Reporting biometric auth nearly every use
I have the security settings set to enable fingerprint lock, to never require password, and to auto-lock after 8 hours. And yet, nearly every time I go to a site or an app that needs a password, afte...
I typically unlock through autofill prompts.
I don't specifically run apps in the background, but I also don't force close apps, and I am a pretty prolific user of apps, so there probably are a bunch open in the background at any given time. I did have a pixel 6 pro (just switched it out for a 7 pro), so I don't tend to think of resources as particularly stretched.
Side note - in setting up my new device, I noticed that there's a number of apps that don't cause the prompt in any way in Gboard, and almost every time, selecting "autofill" in the context menu didn't really in anything happening. Sometimes I'd get a toast telling me it couldn't autofill, but mostly just nothing happened at all.
Examples: Starbucks & Zaxby's. Also apps that have login ID on one screen and password on the next seemed universally bad WRT autofill.
