Wish I could set one specific finger -like the ring finger - assigned to load a empty/fake partition for the OS. Kinda like a briefcase with a secret compartment when you open it a certain way.

Edit: looks like some one in the comments already had the same idea:)

There's an option on Oneplus. If you put one fingerprint it'll open owner and you can set another fingerprint to open another user

Which version/model? I don't see that option on my 9 pro.

8T, I don't have the official software anymore but I remember it clearly. You probably gotta dig up through settings more
