Alexander Bakker 3be9aecb88 Replace the custom fingerprint auth UI with BiometricPrompt This patch replaces the usage of the deprecated FingerprintManager API with BiometricPrompt. This uses the Android X library, so we get the native biometric prompt on recent versions of Android and a Google-made one on older versions. By not working with custom prompts for biometric authentication like we do now, we can be sure that any issues like #70, #81, #237 are not actually our fault. Here's what it looks like: ![](https://alexbakker.me/u/b2rmf3x0b9.jpeg) As a nice aside, this also adds support for the new facial recognition as an authentication method on Pixel 4 phones. This is still a draft, but early feedback is welcome.	5 years ago
