Hello! I am on Android and I used to use my fingerprint as a biometric for Microsoft Authenticator. I no longer wish to do so, since I turned fingerprints off on the phone unlock itself, so I was wondering if there was a way to remove the option to use a fingerprint from Microsoft Authenticator in any way. Thank you in advance.
