AdminManager.LockScreen instantly locks my phone.
However, once locked with this method on my Samsung Note S20 I cannot use biometrics (fingerprint) to unlock the phone.
The option is missing when I turn on the phone and I must use either my pin or my pattern to unlock the phone.
When starting the phone it states "Draw your pattern, as required by the security policy, instead of using fingerprints"
I do not set either the AdminManager.ResetPassword, or the AdminManager.SetPasswordQuality functions because I did not see a value for PASSWORD_QUALITY which included biometrics.

I can wake the phone with my fingerprint if I lock with the power button.

I tried AdminManager.MaximumTimeToLock = 1000, and the phone will timeout in about a second and lock. Then I can use the fingerprint as normal.
But this method is not desirable.

Any suggestions to locking the phone instantly but still be able to unlock with fingerprint?
