How to identify a user based on his fingerprint?


I'm working on project which require fingerprint authentication. Which I've achieved already , now I'm curious about can I identify a mobile's users based on their fingerprint ?

If yes then please guide me with your wisdom , thank you.

I'm using this sample code 'https://github.com/googlesamples/android-FingerprintDialog/'.


Solution

  • That's not possible. There's no such method in Fingerprint API (deprecated) and the recent BiometricPrompt API to identify the scanned prints, they can only acknowledge about the validation of the scanned fingerprints (i-e valid or invalid) as per Google Compatibility Definition for Android vendors.
