The amount of hysterical, either out-of-context or plainly inaccurate coverage that's going around in major tech journalism outlets about this Samsung fingerprint stuff is really quite impressive. Even reletive to usual standards.

I have to admit that I haven't been following this too closely. Is it incorrect to say that a Galaxy S10 can be unlocked with a fingerprint other than what's registered with the device? If not, then what coverage is inaccurate?

The original report is from a low- credibility source (a British tabloid) that everyone is just rephrasing and putting sensationalist headlines on. At best, it seems to require a pretty specific set of circumstances that can't be relied on. See for eg:https://twitter.com/MaxWinebach/status/1184843517358534658?s=19 …

So the quote that
@SamsungMobile is "aware of the case of S10's malfunctioning fingerprint recognition and will soon issue a software patch", which has by now made it to@BBCNews@arstechnica@Forbes and more, has not been confirmed? - 2 more replies
