Description
Problem description
All the apps in my phone which use biometric approval and login feature have some setting like fingerprint using. But actually it should be called something like "biometric login" because when using this fingerprint it actually shows face recognition dialog since my phone does not have a fingerprint sensor. When using termux-fingerprint it throws an error:
*Steps to reproduce
-2. Take pixel 4 xl phone
-1. Upgrade it to android 13
0. Install fdroid
- Install termux and termux API from fdroid
- Open termux
- Run
termux-fingerprint
Expected behavior
Opened face recognition popup as in all applications that use biometric auth.
Additional information
- termux-api application version: 0.50.1
- termux-api package version (installed through apt): 0.57
- Android OS version: 13 (TP1A.221005.002)
- Device model: Pixel 4 XL

Research direction
Start by reproducing termux-fingerprint on a Pixel 4 XL running Android 13 and inspect the implementation behind that command. Compare its biometric handling with the behavior of other Android apps; done means the face recognition prompt opens and authentication completes successfully.
