Note: Fingerprint recognition uses the unique
characteristics of each fingerprint to enhance the
security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint
sensor confusing even small areas of two different
fingerprints is very low. But, in rare cases, the sensor
may recognize a fingerprint that is similar to a
registered fingerprint.
