Attention

This plugin misses the "cancel" string translation. We adopted it for our buildprocess.

About

This plugin was created referencing the Fingerprint Dialog sample and the Confirm Credential sample referenced by the Android 6.0 APIs webpage.

This plugin will open a native dialog fragment prompting the user to authenticate using their fingerprint. If the device has a secure lockscreen (pattern, PIN, or password), the user may opt to authenticate using that method as a backup.

This plugin will only work on devices whose manufacturers have implemented the Android 6.0 Fingerprint Authentication API. This plugin does not support the Samsung Pass SDK and not all Samsung devices implement the Android 6.0 Fingerprint Authentication API. If you are testing this plugin on a Samsung device and it is not working, please check the device compatibility before reporting an issue.

Installation

Cordova

cordova plugin add https://github.com/lxAppDev/cordova-plugin-android-fingerprint-auth.git

How to use

• Call isAvailable() to check the fingerprint status.
• Call encrypt() or decrypt() show the Authentication Dialog.
• Call delete() when you want to delete the cipher for the user.

If you are not concerned with encrypting credentials and just want device authentication (fingerprint or backup), just call encrypt() with a clientId and look for a callback to the successCallback.

Encrypt/Decrypt User Credentials

• Encrypt user credentials
  • Have user sign in with username and password.
  • Check plugin availability and pass username and password to encrypt().
  • Store encrypted token with user profile.
• Decrypt user credentials
  • Prompt for username.
  • Query on username to retrieve encrypted token.
  • Pass username and token to decrypt() to return password.
  • Login using username and decrypted password.

Example implementation

• I have created an example implementation using Angular2-Meteor and Ionic2 (ionic2-meteor-login-fingerprint).
  • See "How It Works"!

FingerprintAuth.isAvailable(successCallback, errorCallback)

Opens a native dialog fragment to use the device hardware fingerprint scanner to authenticate against fingerprints registered for the device.

isAvailable() Result Object

Param	Type	Description
isAvailable	boolean	Fingerprint Authentication Dialog is available for use.
isHardwareDetected	boolean	Device has hardware fingerprint sensor.
hasEnrolledFingerprints	boolean	Device has any fingerprints enrolled.

Example

FingerprintAuth.isAvailable(isAvailableSuccess, isAvailableError);

/**
 * @return {
 *      isAvailable:boolean,
 *      isHardwareDetected:boolean,
 *      hasEnrolledFingerprints:boolean
 *   }
 */
function isAvailableSuccess(result) {
    console.log("FingerprintAuth available: " + JSON.stringify(result));
    if (result.isAvailable) {
        var encryptConfig = {}; // See config object for required parameters
        FingerprintAuth.encrypt(encryptConfig, encryptSuccessCallback, encryptErrorCallback);
    }
}

function isAvailableError(message) {
    console.log("isAvailableError(): " + message);
}

FingerprintAuth Config Object

Param	Type	Default	Description
clientId	String	undefined	(REQUIRED) Used as the alias for your app's secret key in the Android Key Store. Also used as part of the Shared Preferences key for the cipher userd to encrypt the user credentials.
username	String	undefined	Used to create credential string for encrypted token and as alias to retrieve the cipher.
password	String	undefined	Used to create credential string for encrypted token
token	String	undefined	Data to be decrypted. Required for decrypt().
disableBackup	boolean	false	Set to true to remove the "USE BACKUP" button
maxAttempts	number	5	The device max is 5 attempts. Set this parameter if you want to allow fewer than 5 attempts.
locale	String	"en_US"	Change the language displayed on the authentication dialog. English: "en_US" Italian: "it" Spanish: "es" Russian: "ru" French: "fr" Chinese (Simplified): "zh_CN" "zh_SG" Chinese (Traditional): "zh" "zh_HK" "zh_TW" "zh_MO" Norwegian: "no" Portuguese: "pt" Japanese: "ja" German: "de"
userAuthRequired	boolean	true	Require the user to authenticate with a fingerprint to authorize every use of the key. New fingerprint enrollment will invalidate key and require backup authenticate to re-enable the fingerprint authentication dialog.
dialogTitle	String	undefined	Set the title of the fingerprint authentication dialog.
dialogMessage	String	undefined	Set the message of the fingerprint authentication dialog.
dialogHint	String	undefined	Set the hint displayed by the fingerprint icon on the fingerprint authentication dialog.

FingerprintAuth.encrypt(encryptConfig, encryptSuccessCallback, encryptErrorCallback)

Result Object

Param	Type	Description
withFingerprint	boolean	User authenticated using a fingerprint
withBackup	boolean	User authenticated using backup credentials.
token	String	Will contain the base64 encoded credentials upon successful fingerprint authentication.

Example

var encryptConfig = {
    clientId: "myAppName",
    username: "currentUser",
    password: "currentUserPassword"
};


FingerprintAuth.encrypt(encryptConfig, successCallback, errorCallback);

function successCallback(result) {
    console.log("successCallback(): " + JSON.stringify(result));
    if (result.withFingerprint) {
        console.log("Successfully encrypted credentials.");
        console.log("Encrypted credentials: " + result.token);  
    } else if (result.withBackup) {
        console.log("Authenticated with backup password");
