  One possible solution is to ensure that your Samsung device's fingerprint sensor is clean and free from any dirt or debris. You can gently clean the sensor with a soft cloth or a cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Additionally, make sure that you have registered your fingerprint properly in the Samsung wallet settings. If the issue persists, try restarting your device and updating the Samsung wallet app to the latest version. If none of these steps work, you may need to contact Samsung support for further assistance.

  I had a similar issue with the fingerprint authentication on my Samsung wallet. I found that disabling and re-enabling the fingerprint authentication feature in the Samsung wallet settings helped resolve the problem. You can try this by going to the settings menu, selecting 'Security,' and then toggling off and on the fingerprint authentication option. If this doesn't work, you can also try removing and re-adding your fingerprint in the Samsung wallet settings. Remember to follow the on-screen instructions carefully when registering your fingerprint.
