OnePlus: Rename a Saved Fingerprint

Every fingerprint you register on your OnePlus phone gets a generic label like Finger 1 or Finger 2, so telling your own thumb apart from a partner's index finger later is pure guesswork. Once several prints are stored for unlocking or app logins, keeping track of who owns which slot gets confusing fast.

Rename a Fingerprint auf OnePlus

OnePlus assigns fingerprints a default name such as Finger 1 or Finger 2 as soon as you enroll them under Fingerprint Unlock. With a single stored print, that label barely matters. Once you add a second or third finger for yourself, or let another household member register their own print, the plain numbering stops being useful.

Renaming an entry does not change how it unlocks the phone or which actions it triggers. It only swaps the visible label in the fingerprint list, so you can see at a glance which entry belongs to your thumb, your index finger, or someone else in the family.

To rename a print, go to Open the SettingsTap on Security & lock screenTap on Fingerprint UnlockEnter the current pattern, PIN or passwordTap on a registered fingerprintEnter a name and tap OK.

If a fingerprint keeps failing to unlock the phone, renaming will not fix that. Delete the affected entry and re-enroll the finger instead, since a fresh scan usually solves recognition problems better than adjusting its name.

Frequently asked questions

No. OnePlus requires the current pattern, PIN or password before it opens the fingerprint list, since fingerprint settings are treated as sensitive.
