Steps
- 1In order to add our fingerprints, our phone needs to be unlocked.

Advertisement - 3We will be taken to the "Settings" panel.We tap on the gear-shaped icon one time.
- 4The icon should be enabled in our "Quick settings" area.On the "Settings" panel, we are looking for the "Lock screen and security" icon.
- 5If the "Lock screen and security" icon is not in the "Quick settings" area, we scroll down.
- 6Once we've tapped on "Lock screen and security", we will be taken to the "Lock screen and security" panel. Under "Security", we will see the first option, "Fingerprints".We tap on "Lock screen and security" one time under the "Personal" section.
- 7Then, we will see the "Manage fingerprints" section.We tap on "Fingerprints" once.
- 8We will be given a disclaimer informing us that our fingerprints will be stored on our device.We tap the green plus sign once.
- 9We tap on "CONFIRM".
- 10We move it up and down between the attempts. For example, let's press our thumb against the home key. In this video, 4 % recognition will be gained.Then, we simply place our finger on the home button and we lift the finger off.
- 11We move our thumb over.
- 12We move our thumb off to the side a bit.
- 13We move our thumb down a little bit.
- 14It does take a moment. Once we've finished scanning the finger, we'll be given instructions to place the tip of the same finger on the home button and lift the finger off. We'll be adding our fingerprint to the image again and again.We continue moving our thumb, allowing our phone to scan the entire finger.
- 15We tap on "CONTINUE".
- 16We continue scanning our finger by following the instructions.
- 17So, we keep the finger on the home key a little longer. We will successfully add our fingerprint.If we move the finger off too quickly, we'll get a message that our finger needs to stay on the home button longer.
- 18It needs to have six letters, including at least one letter and one number. It might be a good idea to put something short with numbers ending in a year. We enter the backup password. In this video, it is "visi15". Those are "visi" and "2015", which are easy to remember.We will be asked to provide a back-up password.
- 19We tap on "CONTINUE".
- 20In this video, the password is "visi15". Now, we will be able to enable the fingerprint lock if we would like.We confirm the password and tap on "OK".
- 21We can tap on "OK" to set fingerprints as the screen lock.
- 22Let's tap on "CANCEL".Alternatively, we can tap on "CANCEL" if we don't want to set fingerprints as the screen lock.
- 23We will go back to the home screen.When we have finished, we can press the home button.
