    It might not be. If your fingerprints are physically changing, then an accurate scanner should not recognize a fingerprint that’s changed after the fact. If anything you’re looking for a less accurate scanner to help with this issue. But a less accurate scanner could let others in your phone too.

    A family member is a massage therapist and no fingerprint reader has managed to recognize their fingers. Not even the old capacitive types in the rear. They don’t even recognize there’s a fingerprint present. It’s like tapping with a wiener.
