  1. Open Sticky Password. Locate the Sticky Password app on your phone and launch it.

  3. Navigate to Settings. Within the Menu, find and tap the "Settings" option.

  4. Enter App Protection Settings. Look for and tap "App Protection." This section manages the security settings for the Sticky Password app itself.

  6. Select Protection Type. Tap the "Protection type" option. This allows you to change the method used to secure the app.

  7. Choose Biometrics. Select "Biometrics" from the list of available protection types. This tells Sticky Password to use your fingerprint scanner.
