I think this has been brought up before. Last I heard it was being investigated but that was a while back.
I’ve experienced this behaviour since they first introduced fingerprint authentication
I’ve experienced this on my Pixel 2 XL as well since the Android 9/Pie update. From my understanding app developers should be using the BiometricPrompt API from Pie onward to show authentication dialogs (per https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/06/better-biometrics-in-android-p.html).
Obviously we’ll be a tiny sliver of the user base at the minute so I guess this will be quite low on the list of priorities (and I’m also assuming switching to this would fix the issue)!
Edit: It’s in the support library as well though so it can support < Android P too!
I hate to resurface an old thread, but I’m still getting this (also on a Pixel 2 XL) and keep hearing others mention it too. Anyone got any ideas about if it when we might see a fix?

I’ve just purchased the OnePlus 7 and this still seems to be an issue. I guess the best thing we can do is upvote the bug?
