When setting up a protected section on Onenote on my samsung fold6 it I enable the box that says use fingerprint next time but when I go to unlock it again it asks for the password again with the use fingerprint box still enabled. It never lets me use my fingerprint to unlock the sections. Anyone know a fix for this?

    The first thing I did was search on APKMirror and APKPure and the search was successful very quickly.

    Also, it was not even a problem to find the correct version for the hardware and maybe even with a date before the defect...

    However, on OneNote I store and save mainly sensitive data and I cannot afford to carry a Trojan on board...

    I do not trust files on the internet at all. Too many scams.

    I keep the defect, less serious than the theft and use of my data.

    But in this whole story it is incredible that MS does not release a patch, given that the defect is known and widespread...

    Let's keep this discussion alive, or alternatively provide the link to an official 2025 smartphone version or the link to a recent official apk...

    I JPowell_307 thanks

    thanks for your suggestion, the problem occurs - only - on the Google Pixel 7 Pro.
    I could try, but I don't think the installation is unsuccessful. Do you think otherwise?

    cheers

    Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it through the Galaxy Store app?

    I all

    I have the same problem :-(

    I also had the idea of ​​using an apk, but to avoid the risk of computer scams that impact banking, the information we transfer when we buy objects, when we communicate our sensitive data or exchange important letters, digital signatures, etc. - very common scams in this era, to avoid serious trouble I preferred not to do it.

    However, I extracted the OneNote apk from my Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra 5G tablet - always android 15, like the Google Pixel 7 Pro android 15 where the problem occurs. Unfortunately I get a pop-up: ""App not installed because it is not compatible with your device".

    :-( :-(

    Cheers
