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?

Sadly this won't work for me, I have a Fold 6 and even with google secuity etc off I can't install the older versions of most apps, even on my previos S23 because it's incompatible apparently so dumb....
I had the same frickin' issue when I switched to my new phone, so I felt it was an issue with the current version of onenote and "EURAKAH" I found a solution.
All you have to do install a previous APK version of onenote and then update it to the latest version through play store and the fingerprint unlock works. I installed the January 19, 2024 APK version from apkmirror. I recommend others as well to download from this website as it is malware free and has authentic apps.
YOU ARE THE MAN!
Lame answer...it's BROKEN for One Note NOT. A phone issue lmao! It's been wonky for a year or more now.
Perfect!!! Thank you.
I'm having the same issue with my Pixel 9 Pro XL. It is no longer working. It was working fine on my Pixel 7 Pro before I got the new phone. I'm not downloading and installing stuff from unknown sources. If Microsoft doesn't fix this soon, I'll simply look for an alternative solution.
