Wouldn't your phone be covered in your fingerprints?

Plenty of easy ways to pick up fingerprints from things like that. eg sticky tape + lead pencil, etc.

I've got an older phone so my fingerprint scanner is on the back. The finger I use for that is different from the screen one.

But yeah thanks PayPal

So... you don't hold your phone with your other fingers? ;)
