Galaxy S6: Bypass fingerprint sensor

On the Samsung Galaxy S6, you have several options to unlock your phone. You can use a numeric code, a pattern, and your fingerprint. If you want to use your fingerprint to unlock, you also need to choose a code for security.

How to bypass fingerprint sensor on Galaxy S6

You can set up your fingerprint to unlock on Galaxy S6. In addition, you enter a four-digit code that you can use to bypass the fingerprint sensor. This is necessary if the sensor does not recognize your fingerprint. This happens, for example, in case of cold, moisture or a technical defect. If you have forgotten the code, you can unlock the device via the Google account or your Samsung account. If these options are not available either, you have to connect the device to a computer and reset it completely. However, all data will be lost in the process.

You have these options

1. Use the code: Once your fingerprint has not been recognized four times in a row, you will be asked to enter the numeric code. Use it to unlock your device.
2. Use the Samsung account: Go to the "Find My Mobile" website and log in with your Samsung account. You can unlock your smartphone here. Dies setzt voraus, dass Sie GPS an Ihrem Handy aktiviert haben.
3. Mit dem Google-Konto: Auf dem Sperrbildschirm finden Sie die Option „Mit Google entsperren“. Loggen Sie sich hier auf Ihrem Google-Account ein. Das Smartphone wird entsperrt.
