Make sure that each of these fingerprints are set up correctly to avoid causing screen lock problems in the future. Fingerprint option has disappeared after the february security update - this is on a 128gb Pixel 2 XL. You can store up to 5 fingerprints on your device. Make sure that you also remember a second way to unlock your Pixel 3 XL (PIN, Pattern, or Password) in the event that the system may not be able to read your fingerprint properly. There are a lot of people who may find fingerprint unlock option as a hit-and-miss way to access their devices, especially if there’s a hardware problem on the screen or with the fingerprint sensor. I’m not sure of the exact reason why Google didn’t automatically enable the fingerprint gesture.
