Streamlines face unlock by skipping biometric confirmation in System UI (Android 10+)
This Xposed module streamlines face unlock by skipping the confirmation step enforced after biometric authentication. The bypass applies system-wide, so it works across all apps, including banking or security-sensitive ones.
By default, even after your face is recognized, Android makes you tap to confirm before it lets you through, turning face unlock into a two-step chore. This module removes that step across all biometric flows, regardless of how each app is built.
Android 10 (API 29) added support for passive biometric flows via the setConfirmationRequired(false) flag in the BiometricPrompt API. This lets apps skip the "tap to confirm" step after face unlock, but only if:
- The app explicitly sets the flag to
false - The biometric method is classified as Class 3 (strong) (e.g. secure face unlock on Pixel 8+)
Most apps don't set this flag, and even when they do, some components still enforce the confirmation dialog.
This module hooks System UI directly to remove that dialog, simulating the intended behavior system-wide no matter what the app does.

| Face unlock with manual confirmation required | Face unlock with automatic confirmation bypass |
- Android Versions: 10 and up (API 29+)
- ROM Support: AOSP-based ROMs, Pixel, and other close-to-stock systems. OEM ROMs (e.g. MIUI, OneUI) are not tested and probably won't work due to heavy modifications
- App Support: Works globally, including banking and security-sensitive apps, by applying the bypass system-wide
- Install Xposed with API 101 support
- Download and install the module APK
- In your Xposed manager, enable the module and apply it to

Bypassing confirmation reduces friction and security. If someone spoofs your face or waves your phone at you while you're asleep, they get in. Use responsibly.
