Disable viewing all passwords using fingerprint
I like using fingerprint to unlock my mobile and I can manage the risks linked to the weaknesses of the method.
BUT I find very dangerous to be able to access all my passwords using my finger. My finger could be used when I am asleep for example and the person would be able to see and copy all the passwords he wants while I am sleeping. I would even not notice he copied anything when I wake up.
When I want to see a password I am proposed to use PIN AND fingerprint. So unless there is a way to disable unlocking the passwords with the fingerprint, I am forced to disable fingerprint to unlock my mobile which is annoying.
My question is -- How do I disable fingerprint for accessing my passwords without removing fingerprint globally ?

Hi
At the present time that is not an option that is available.
OK thanks Paul. Disappointing there is no way to disable a non-secure access to passwords. I need to remove fingerprint from my phone until I find a way/application that keeps passwords secure.
If you set the lock screen control for your Android to a passcode, Firefox for Android should follow that for access to the list of credentials stored in the app.
Thanks Paul I understand that but please tell Firefox team that giving access to a phone where there is nothing vital for me using fingerprint is very different than letting the same fingerprint access all my passwords. I do not even understand how they did not pay attention to this. Will return to firefox for passwords when this is fixed.
Again thanks for your support.
