Fingerprint scanner not detecting fingerprint

4.5

The scanner is active but fails to read your finger or says "No match".

Symptoms
  • "Try again"
  • Vibrates but fails
  • Unrecognized finger
Possible Causes
  • Wet/Dry skin
  • Scratched sensor
  • Poor initial scan

Step-by-Step Fix

1

Moisturize/Dry Hands

Extremely dry or wet fingers are hard for optical scanners to read.

2

Register Multiple Fingers

Add both index fingers and thumbs to the system for redundancy.

3

Press Firmer

Ensure your finger covers the entire sensor area.

When to See a Technician

If you have a screen protector, ensure it is "fingerprint compatible" for in-display scanners.
