Just more of Liebermann's dreams. You normally use your index finger which pretty much covers the patch, but the slightest mistplacement or turn of your finger isn't regognized and you can't "loosen" up the recognitian because that would make it easy to hack.

I haven't looked into exactly how it works. But my experience with it
(nearly five years now with this phone) is that it does work, it's
_extremely_ reliable, and Tom's "slightest misplacement" claim is his
usual ignorant bullshit.

Assumption, the mother of all screwups.  What's a fingerprint "spot"?
The Motorola "M" in the photo on the back of the phone is the
fingerprint sensor:

It's the same as my Moto G Power 2020.

Mine doesn't read my fingerprint over half of the time. You're telling us that yours works 100% of the time?

I'll let Frank speak for himself.  On my current phone, the
fingerprint reader fails about 10% of the time, usually because my
hands were dirty, wet or swollen (from splitting firewood with a
splitting axe).  I can usually get it to read by wiping or switching
hands.

I don't own any phones that have a fingerprint reader behind the
screen (like your Samsung A51).  I can't pass judgment on the
reliability of such readers.

"Struggling to Unlock Your Phone? You Might Have Lost Your
Fingerprints"
<https://www.wired.com/story/why-you-might-be-losing-your-fingerprints/>
"The absence of these identifying marks, which can be the result of
excessive typing, manual work, chemotherapy, or sports, is becoming
more of an issue in the age of biometrics."

The thing I don't understand is, why use an "anything" reader on a
hand phone? I've been using hand phones since they were small enough
to be carried in one hand and I've never used a
thumb/hand/nose/anything/ reader and even more telling I've never seen
anyone else use one... in at least 4 different countries.
