Authenticate action by biometric sensor

[Gustavosrc]

Hello veterans!

I have a question/suggestion. would it be possible to create a macro to call the biometric sensor to authenticate or not an action? for example if I trigger the trigger to turn off Wi-Fi the sensor is called to authenticate if the action can be done or not. that would open up a whole new range of options, I could use the biometric sensor for almost anything. what do you think? it would be possible?

I haven't looked into it at all but I think in theory a biometric sensor prompt action would be possible and this would return a true/false if it succeeds. I will add it to my (big) list of things to look at.

It would be amazing to be able to use the biometric sensor to authenticate actions. considering that reader already standard in all devices nowadays, this would save time typing passwords and answering dialog boxes for our routine tasks. there is a plugin that can be used to call the fingerprint reader, the problem is that it doesn't generate any log that can be used to authenticate the fingerprint, unless i used it wrong i was not able to do anything other than open the fingerprint identification screen and then closes there. if at least I had a variable capable of saving the fingerprint reader logs, it would already be possible to use this variable to compare and authenticate the fingerprint, but as I don't understand programming, I don't know the complexity of doing this, but I hope it's a reality in future updates.

Any news about this?
Thanks @MacroDroidDev

Sorry, it's still buried deep in my TODO list along with tons of other things I'm afraid.
