The fingerprint stopped working properly. When you open the lid of the device, a finger touch signal is emitted several times and prompts you to enter the pin code (I am not touching the sensor). Then I deleted all fingerprints and tried to add them again. When I try to add a new fingerprint, I have the initial recording of my fingerprint without a single touch, then the device waits until I touch the sensor for real, then it again adds a new phantom touch (without my participation), eventually, the added fingerprint will unlock the device automatically without a single touch. As soon as the screen goes out, the sensor operates independently and the device turns on. I've noticed before that my screen on the device lit up, but I didn't care about it, so now I realize that it was the fingerprint sensor that triggered it. At the moment, he's completely lost his mind.

that show me, when i try add new fingerprint, without any touches, first touch always make by device - automatically O_o

P.S. I tried using the CDS Tool and it shows me the Fingerprint test: PASS at a glance, i.e. the first time I run the test, it goes through the test on its own without touching it, the second time it is waiting for me to touch it.

I have the same problem when the sensor is dirty, I clean and work good again. This issue I think that was reported somewhere, so probably will be a fix for it

I've wiped the sensor more than once, I'm sure it's not about the dirty sensor. I automatically touch the sensor with my phantom finger exactly once when I start the CSD Tool or add a new fingerprint

P.S., just in case, I tried to wipe it again with a special alcoholic cleaning cloth, and the sensor stopped showing phantom touches! I wiped it with a cloth many times... If this sensor is so easy to confuse and make it go crazy, I don't know if it should be used anymore... In any case, thank you @carmeloferso for your advice, repeatedly wiped the sensor, but only today, using the cleaner, he stopped glitching
