Nothing stopping an exta fingerprint being registered though…

Changing the database of fingerprints can, if the app is properly configured, erase any “unlock token” stored on the phone.
I just tested this with KeepassDB on android. I deleted and re-added a fingerprint, the database relocked itself requiring the full password to be typed.

Interesting, didn’t know that. Do you think that different enough from a timeout / reboot requirement of code? Could the app tell?
