Yeah, so the app never sees it. What are you disagreeing with?

[–] Lojcs@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I just corrected that, can't I without disagreeing?

I mean that I don't know what part of my comment is "not true". I welcome corrections, I just don't see what is being corrected here.

It doesn't send a yes/no signal it sends the fingerprint to be compared to the stored one

The app gets either the onAuthenticationSucceeded or onAuthenticationFailed callback. It doesn't get the fingerprint.

Edit: I think we are misunderstanding each other, I'm saying that apps never see the fingerprint. The OS does, depending on the device.
