<p>GrapheneOS improves the security of the fingerprint unlock feature by only
permitting 5 total attempts rather than implementing a 30 second delay between
every 5 failed attempts with a total of 20 attempts. This doesn't just reduce
the number of potential attempts but also makes it easy to disable fingerprint
unlock by intentionally failing to unlock 5 times with a different finger.</p>
<p>GrapheneOS also adds support for using the fingerprint scanner only for
authentication in apps and unlocking hardware keystore keys by toggling off
support for unlocking. This feature already existed for the standard Android
face unlock feature.</p>

only 5 attempts rather than 20 before permanent lockout (our recommendation is
still keeping sensitive data in user profiles without fingerprint unlock)</li>
