Use fingerprint for apps, without a lockscreen? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a possible way to store my fingerprint in my phone, for apps that have that feature, without using it as a lockscreen?
I have a few apps, like Lastpass and my banking app, that allow use of a fingerprint instead of a password. These seem to be based on a fingerprint saved in my phone itself, the one that would be used for my lockscreen. When I turn off lockscreen the fingerprints are no longer an option. Is there a workaround for this? I am on a Sprint HTC 10.

[Q] MiLocker with pattern lock possible?

Hello, all!
I recently installed MiLocker with a nice five-way app ring, and have it tweaked to use Dolphin HD instead of the standard browser, etc. Looks great, works great! I have noticed, however, that it disables the standard Android security lock (i.e., pattern, PIN or password). At first, I thought there was something in my Tasker profile or the CyanogenMod settings causing this, but I've ruled that out. It appears that MiLocker not only replaces the Android slide lock, but also the security lock.
Does anyone know if it is possible to use MiLocker in conjunction with the Android security lock? In other words, I would like the MiLocker screen to be displayed when the phone wakes up, I select the app from the five-way ring, and then my usual pattern lock comes up. As it is now, using MiLocker disables access security on the phone, which I don't like.
This is on an HTC Desire Z running CM7.
Anyone? It appears that MiLocker simply prevents the phone from locking at all, since none of the CM settings related to display and security lock are honoured (like lock delay).

[Q] Any way to access camera from lockscreen with PIN lock?

I have a Nexus 4, unrooted, stock, running Android 4.4.3. Is there any way to access the camera app from the lock-screen when using a PIN to lock the phone?
This is my personal phone, but my employer requires a PIN lock (with a very short timeout) in order to access my work exchange server. It is annoying to have to enter the pin each time I want to take a photo. Once the PIN lock has been enabled there is no way to access the camera or any widgets from the lock screen. All of the applicable settings are greyed out in the security settings menu.
I have done enough searches to know that this is not possible without rooting, but I am not clear on whether or not it is possible if I root the phone. If so, what is the easiest path to add a working camera icon to the lock screen?
When my phone updated to 4.4.3, for a few days there was a camera icon on the lock screen but it did not work. No amount of swiping, dragging, or tapping could get it to work. Then after a few days the camera icon just disappeared.
Thank for you help!

How to disable Control Center access from the Lock screen on android

Hello,
I have trouble with control center. I have installed "Where's My droid" premium and "Smart lockscreen protector" apps. It's all great, but now there is another problem. When you lock your screen, you can still swipe down control center with all those (Wi-fi, Brightness, Auto rotate, bluetooth, Mobile data) options. So basicly, it means that phone thief can easily turn off Mobile data and I woun't find my phone. Meybe there is some solutions how to turn it off or something?

If you set a secure lockscreen, this should not be an issue.

I didn't quir understand you.. How can i set secure lockscreen?
Set the lockscreen with either a passcode, pattern lock, PIN code, face unlock, etc. Most phones have the settings in the Settings app under its own Lockscreen section or in the Security section.

I understand that, but thats not the case.. I have already lock screen with password. Thief cant get to my phone unless he enters right passcode to unlock phone/screen. I'm talking about the command central. Anyone can swipe down the screen from above and turn off the mobile data, wifi, etc. I have checked all lock screen options, but haven't figured ir out. For example here is article about iOs, but no androids. I can't post link, but you can type in google "how to turn off command center on lockscreen" and open 3rd website.
Sorry, should have tested that before I suggested. I could have sworn it used to be that way, but never use passwords so not entirely sure. Only thing I can think of to resolve would be a 3rd party lockscreen that has that option.
Is this issue was not resolved since 2015? I have exact same problem. I have face ID and fingerprint access controll, but still can swipe down with lock on and disable wifi, bluetooth and data. I Noticed this problem on MIUI 11, but still is a thing on MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Mi 9 SE

fingerprint locking on apps only?

Hello.
I want to use applocker to lock apps with my fingerprint, but it requires me to register fingerprints through settings. Settings does not allow me to register fingers, as it wants me to turn on the stock lock screen. However, I'm using a third party lock screen. Is it possible to bypass this requirement and use to fingerprint locking for just apps?

[Q] 3rd party lock screens and fingerprint scanner

Im trying to use hi locker (a 3rd party lock screen) but if I want to use the fingerprint scanner, I have to have the system lockscreen enabled which means I have to unlock the phone twice everytime. Is there anyway to use the fingerprint scanner and disable the system lockscreen?
