If a user unlocks the device via fingerprint a certain actions will perform. It's a confirmation if a user is the owner or not to perform the actions. Idk if you get it but it'll be useful.
Finger print unlock trigger

Yes that can be done, but if a person tries to unlock a phone by pin lock or pass lock the macrodroid won't recognize that person if it's the owner or not, and it's useful if the phone is being used by different person. You can put a certain action like:
#this if clause will do nothing
if clause => trigger fired - finger print unlock
#but this else will prevent the person to use the phone by turning off the screen.
else:
screen off
end if
something like that and there's many more uses of that trigger I can tell you one by one. jk
I hope you get what I mean.
there is a "failed login attempt" trigger, maybe that will work for you?Yes that can be done, but if a person tries to unlock a phone by pin lock or pass lock the macrodroid won't recognize that person if it's the owner or not, and it's useful if the phone is being used by different person.

apart from that i don't really get what you mean by "knowing if it's the owner using the phone or not", if it gets unlocked doesn't that already mean that it is the owner? and if it doesn't get unlocked then it can't be in use, so it can never be in use by a different person?
and you are right about that if clause not doing anything, if the trigger hasn't fired then the macro wouldn't run and, unless you have some other trigger that will fire, the "screen off" action will never run.

Yes it can also be done by that action that I provide but I mean by different person is someone like my kids or my wife who sometimes uses my phone. I'll provide other actions for you to understand what I mean sorry I am not good at explaining.
if clause => trigger fired - finger print unlock
macro run => (other macro) #which is I want to be only activated by me the owner if someone uses failed login attempt the ones who knew the passlock can activate it.
else:
cancel macro => [this macro] / screen off
end if
I mean by the "knowing if it's the owner or not" is only the person who has a fingerprint scanned in the device can activate the certain macro.

end if

that if clause example of yours, what other trigger will there be? because it is still the same as your previous post, and the else will only ever be true if the "finger print unlock" trigger has not fired, and if that trigger hasn't fired and there is no other trigger then the macro won't run, so there will have to be another trigger..
and what would be the difference between just using the "device unlocked" trigger vs this "finger print unlock" trigger?
i think i get it now, your wife/kids know your phone unlock code, so therefore if your phone is unlocked by fingerprint it must be you that unlocked it, and if it is unlocked by unlock code then it can be either you/your wife or one of your kids that unlocked it??
if this is this case you could maybe set up a macro that asks for a code to confirm it is you (or whoever else you share the code with)
something like this:
Trigger - device unlocked
set integer variable - user input
if integer variable = 1234 - Run macro
else - screen off/lock screen
end if
set integer variable - 0
you could also use a string variable instead, so you can use text in the "password" aswell.

What you can do is to block screen on while device locked
If screen turned on while screen locked.
Turn off screen.
This way no one can type on a password but can use fingerprint unlock.
I recommend giving the screen off action in loop while screen is on to make sure screen will goes really

You guys are making this long I am just suggesting this to make something easier. and if this is not accepted it's fine.
but one thing fingerprint unlock trigger will be only working if the phone is locked, how can you unlock a unlocked device?

i understand your request and that you want something easier, and your request still stands.
the reason for us making it "long" is because we are trying to help you think of a solution that you can use untill it get's implemented. (if ever)
