I had AnyDesk AD1 addon installed on my phone and the addon was enabled under Accessibility.

PSA: Delete and re-add your biometrics data such as fingerprints every few months for a smoother experience

If you've ever noticed your fingerprint sensor has become more inaccurate over time, or requiring you to consistently wipe clean the sensor, I advise you to simply delete and re-add your finger print. The difference is absolutely phenomenal. It feels like a brand new phone with an instantaneous response to the slightest touch of your finger tip.

So far I've theorised it has to do with changes in the skin, and not necessarily failure in the hardware....

All the Pegasus spyware debacle makes me more certain that the open source nature of android is the best way forward for good security

I doubt such a vulnerability could have persisted if not for the closed source nature of ios, and [is more difficult to prevent owing to the same reason](https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2021/03/16/iphone-12-pro-max-and-iphone-13-not-more-secure-than-google-and-samsung-android-warns-cyber-billionaire/...
