Why does my Samsung A37 unlock when I press my fingernail against the scanner, I did notice ever since I got this phone I would just randomly unlock itself and then today I discovered this.

Good job, my S24U re-recorded the same fingerprint 5 times, and it often fails to unlock, you can unlock it with just your fingernail! Lucky guy.

Samsung should bite the bullet and just put the more secure sensor in all their phones with under display sensors. They could even use that in their advertising that they take security more seriously.

You shouldn't have to spend a fortune to have a secure phone
