I’m on Android 13 not 14 and I’ve seen reports a few months ago about this happening for 14.

I’ve got no option to update or roll back and all fingerprint related settings and the fingerprint functionality have just vanished as if it’s not being detected at all.

very frustrating trying to remember passwords for all sorts of apps that expect biometric login.

anyone else see this or have a fix for it?

    You are right. The ones in the screen just don’t work well enough. Why after the pixel 4 they abandoned face recognition is beyond me.

      Not sure what you mean, I’m typing this from my Pixel 7a which I unlocked with my face.

      Allegedly the half assed way it was implemented was a battery destroyer and had heat issues. The 6Pro’s had it. If you watch pre release viseos of them, it was still in there, but got pulled right at release.
