BiometricPrompt crashes on Samsung S9 with Face unlock

QUESTION

BiometricPrompt crashes on Samsung S9 with Face unlock

Asked 2019-Oct-10 at 06:49

I am using the new BiometricPrompt API in Android P (API 28) in my application. (I am actually using it inside a wrapper based on this project so that it functions on older devices too, but that is not relevant to the question.) This is working very well on all devices I have tested, except for the Samsung S9 with face unlock.

Even though the stock Android version of BiometricPrompt currently only implements fingerprint authentication, Samsung appears to have extended it to support Face Unlock as well. When I trigger biometric authentication in my app, the "bottom sheet" pops up with a face icon (instead of the fingerprint icon shown on all other devices) and at the top of the screen some text appears that says "no face detected". (Note that the icon shown here is provided by the operating system, not by me, so it is obviously of Samsung's design.)

According to the documentation, the BiometricPrompt is only supposed to close itself and call my onAuthenticationSucceeded method if the authentication has been successful. According to logcat, it looks like it has been successful:

I had this same issue when attempting to use the BiometricPrompt APIs to authenticate users into my app. I reached out to Samsung technical support and they confirmed that Samsungs face recognition is not secure enough to unlock the Android Keystore.

This makes sense since the current Samsung Galaxy devices (S8, S9, S10) do not have the necessary hardware to do 3D imaging of a face (rumor has it that the Pixel 4 will). This reminds me of Samsungs first fingerprint implementation, on the S5 I believe, that did not meet Google's technical specifications and didn't work after upgrading to Marshmallow.

Below is the actual reply that I received from Samsung tech support:

For security reasons, Face Biometric can not update the keystore after authentication. So, SecurityException is shown when the application tries to make a keystore or sign by the keystore.

Currently, you can not use Face Biometric in your application to authenticate. Alternatively, you may guide the user to change Preferred Biometric to Fingerprint / Iris by showing a pop up (to open biometric preference setting) while getting these exceptions.

Thank you for your patience.

Curiously, I no longer see the crash on the Galaxy S10. The authentication just returns an error code. This may be even worse since it breaks their suggested fix. Ugh.
