This How.com.vn teaches you how make the Venmo app on your Android require your fingerprint to open. Before you can enable this feature in Venmo, you'll need to add your fingerprint in your Android's security settings. You can go to this list to see if your Android qualifies.

Adding your Fingerprint to an Android
Open Settings. To do this, swipe down from the top of the home screen and tap the gear at the top-right corner.[1]
- If you've already added your fingerprint, see Turning on Fingerprint Security on Venmo.
Tap Lock Screen and Security or Security and location. The name of this menu (and other menus in Settings) varies by Android, but you'll usually find your fingerprint settings in a menu that contains the word "Security."
Tap Fingerprints or Imprint. If you don't see one of these options (or something similar), you may have to tap an option called Screen lock type.[2]
Follow the on-screen instructions to add your fingerprint. The steps will vary depending on your Android. You'll usually have to place your finger on the fingerprint sensor and move it around as described on your screen.Advertisement
