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.

1.) Used to be a dishwasher and even the government had a hard time getting my prints.

2.) A wiener (that's attached to a human) can actually be used and make a recognizable print on a fingerprint reader. (Not recommended for daycare workers.)

Don't let your dreams be dreams.

If my dreams can't be dreams, they can't be anything. Reality doesn't support what matters to me.
