To turn off fingerprint biometrics, you'll generally need to access your device's settings and disable the fingerprint recognition feature. Here's a general guide on how to do it, though the exact steps may vary slightly depending on your device (Android, iOS, etc.) and its operating system version:
-
Access Settings: On your device, locate and open the "Settings" application.
-
Navigate to Security/Biometrics: Within the Settings menu, look for options like "Security," "Biometrics," "Security & Biometrics," "Fingerprint," or similar terms. The exact wording depends on your device manufacturer and operating system.
-
Find Fingerprint Recognition: Once in the Security/Biometrics section, you should see an option related to fingerprint recognition or fingerprint ID.
-
Disable Fingerprint Authentication: Tap on the fingerprint recognition option. You might be prompted to enter your PIN, password, or pattern for verification. Look for a toggle switch or a button that allows you to disable fingerprint authentication. This might be labeled "Fingerprint Unlock," "Biometric ID," or something similar. Turn this option off.
-
Remove Fingerprints (Optional): After disabling fingerprint authentication, you may also want to remove any saved fingerprints from your device. There should be an option to delete or remove registered fingerprints.
Example (based on provided reference, likely for a specific application):
- Tap your user profile icon (usually in the upper-right corner).
- Select "Settings."
- Under the "Security" section, turn "Biometric ID" off.
- If prompted, enter your passcode.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully turn off fingerprint biometrics on your device. Remember to consult your device's user manual or online help resources for more specific instructions if needed.
