How to enter fingerprint on Android with ADB

20 May 2022

Ever wondered how to enter fingerprint on Android using ADB?

  1. Setup your phone for Wi-Fi/USB debugging
  2. Navigate to your fingerprint settings
  3. Tap on “Add fingerprint”
  4. Enter in a terminal/command prompt adb -e emu finger touch <id> *
  5. You might need to re-execute the command couple of times until the “fingerprint” is fully “scanned”

* The <id> could be basically anything you like.

Example:

adb -e emu finger touch 123456
