For me it's not exposure to water, it's my health. When more ill than usual I can't get my smartphone to work properly. If I can even get into it, as the fingerprint sensor says I am not me, and, what with the screen being 'unpredictable', it can be more trouble than it's worth to get it to accept the phones password.

Other infuriating, and impossible, things go wrong, things that I couldn't do if I tried to (like the phone switching to camera mode whilst I am attempting to compose an email, when there is no camera button, nor icon, on the email screen), and completely closing the email app, losing what I may well have spent hours trying to compose, but basically, neither the phone, nor cats, like me much when I am ill ill.

Yes. That was more my issue. I've never tried to use fingerprint authentication for any device.

sort of... i detest it all, with the swiping & the touch screen, but i think thats just because i dont really know how to use the touch screen things it took me about 20mins to work out how to delete a text on the stupid thing. I just missed the boat when everyone else was learning touchscreen devices about 15/20yrs ago lol
