A report from Android Authority last summer uncovered code in an Android 15 beta that indicated your phone would be able to tell if your face or fingerprint login wasn't working and delete that credential, requiring you to create a new one. There's no indication this issue is tied to that feature, but the timing is suspicious.

If you’re affected by this glitch, after installing the March update, your phone acts like it no longer has a fingerprint scanner. Options for the scanner disappear from phone settings, and the hardware no longer appears responsive when you try to use it.

Pixel Update is breaking fingerprint scanners, but there should be a way to fix it. Here's what you need to know.
