• That’s it, now just move this to top and run the task by tapping on the Play Button.
• If you see green dots on all three actions, this means task executed successfully.
• Go back and delete the Finger task as we don’t need it anymore.
• Now go to Fingerprint Unlock task and add an icon to our task so that we can create and add Tasker widget to home screen.
• Select appropriate icon and exit the app. Now on home screen, add widget by selecting tasker, then tap on task and under task, choose Fingerprint Unlock. It will open fingerprint Unlock Actions tab. Just exit it. You will see the task icon on your Home screen.
