    Yes but the fingerprint wouldn’t match would it so they don’t actually have to see your fingerprint they just need to get the error back from the phone OS

        Changing the database of fingerprints can, if the app is properly configured, erase any “unlock token” stored on the phone.

        I just tested this with KeepassDX on android. I deleted and re-added a fingerprint, the database that I had a fingerprint setup had relocked itself requiring the full password to be typed.

          Interesting, didn’t know that. Do you think that different enough from a timeout / reboot requirement of code? Could the app tell?
