Hi everyone,

I installed the One UI 8 official release on Friday and overall, it has been great.

One thing that took me until today sorting out was why all of my Secure Folder apps (that support fingerprint authentication) suddenly stopped working.

Each time I tried logging in on one of the apps, an error message popped up saying phone access needed to be configured in Settings.

Turns out that Secure Folder now has a separate fingerprint authentication setting and all I needed to do was create my fingerprint within there for it to start working again.

Thank you so much, I was very confused as to why I couldn't log in with my fingerprint.
