Google Pixel 6: Fingerprint sensor on 6 Pro and 6a

If you want to unlock your Google Pixel 6, 6 Pro or 6a by fingerprint, you have to set up the function once. We’ll show you how to avoid entering the code in the future.

Unlock Google Pixel 6 with fingerprint

The Google Pixel 6 has the fingerprint sensor built in below the display. So you can reach it comfortably even if you only hold the phone with one hand.

• First, open the “Settings” app on your Google Pixel 6.

• Select the “Security” category here.

• Now select “Unlock by fingerprint”.

• Follow the further instructions for setting up. If you have not yet set another unlock method, you must first store an alternative such as a PIN.

• During setup, you will be asked repeatedly to place your finger on the sensor in different positions to cover all areas.

• Once the process is complete, you can lock your phone and then unlock it by placing your finger on the sensor.
