Registering Your Fingerprint

  1. Navigate to your “Settings” app on your phone.
  2. Tap on the “Security” button.
  3. Click on “Nexus Imprint” button.
  4. Click on the “Add Fingerprint” option.
  5. You will be prompted to set up a backup PIN or password in case the phone can’t read your fingerprint at one point or another.
  6. You will be prompted to put your finger on the sensor several times. Adjust your finger accordingly so the sensor can accurately read your print accurately.
  7. Once the sensor has read your fingerprint, it will ask you to add another fingerprint or close.

After you’ve set up fingerprint security, you can add fingerprint authentication to your Google Play purchases.

Here’s how:

  1. Open the “Google Play store” app.
  2. Open “Settings” in the Google Play store.
  3. Under Settings, scroll down to “Fingerprint Authentication” and click on the box next to it to put in a check mark.
  4. Now, whenever you want to access Google Play store, you’ll have to authenticate it with the fingerprint password you’ve set on your Nexus phone. Whenever you make a new purchase on Google Play, you will be prompted to press your fingerprint on the sensor, rather than entering your password.
  5. If you want to remove the password authentication and return to a password or PIN, repeat steps one through three and then uncheck the box next to “Fingerprint authentication” in step 3.
