Fingerprint Access no longer working as I changed password!

Hello

 

I reset the password on an online account, and my Galaxy S7 is set to recognise my fingerprint for authentication for that site.

 

However my finger print doesn't work any more as the password linked to it is now wrong, so I have to cancel the fingerprint step and add in my password.

 

Is there a way to amend this setting so my password will be recognised and I can use my fingerprint again please?

 

Thanks for any help and advice.

Turn off fingerprint recognition for that site then back on again and it should ask you to re-register your print which will then be linked to the password.

Usually a setting option in the app to turn fingerprint login on and off....
