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?

    Hi bro,

    1st you uninstall any onenote from the phone, then download & install this version of one note from

    here: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/microsoft-corporation/onenote/onenote-16-0-17231-20016-release/microsoft-onenote-save-notes-16-0-17231-20016-android-apk-download/

    install it by giving permission to install from unknown sources. After installation open the onenote & login, then open the password protected notebook/page & put password with clicking on the toggle to open with fingerprint from next time. after opening the notebook/page, close the app & open it again.. check if this time it works with fingerprint. If it works then update the Onenote app from the google playstore, & then check again. It will continue to work.

    I juusssssst checked it, there is no update in the play store so it's on the newest version. When I opened the app itself, I was greeted buly the intro for the new cards feature. So def on the newest ver.

    The fingerprint unlock is still working. Image
