I guess I'm just unlucky then. My pixel 7 has annoying login issues and the battery will randomly suck some days.
The fingerprint reader is completely non-functional and when I put my pin in, 60% of the time it will take a good 5 to 10 seconds to unlock.
Even when the fingerprint reader is working it will ask you for the pin "for additional security" grrr. I think I used to get a 50% success rate with the fingerprint reader, though it does seem a lot better recently for some reason. I didn't change anything, so maybe a software update unfucked it.
Did your save you primary scanning finger a couple of times? Mine almost always works.
I had some luck redoing my fingerprint scans in a dark closet. Under display fingerprint readers suck in general.
I miss my pixel 4 with the scanner on the back. Instant unlock 100% of the time.
I have heard the complaints about the finger print reader. I personally don't use it so I can't comment on that. I just use a PIN all the time. Smart unlock at home and in my car removes that entirely.
