Using password managers and 2FA with passwords can be a slow and boring process, if you can unlock with fingerprint is much faster and frictionless, however I dont want my provider to know my fingerprints (samsung) is there a way to achieve this?

FYI the fingerprints are stored and processed locally through a secure element, which the OS relies on to approve or deny access.

They never leave the device.

That's usually part of the OS, not an app. Probably some custom ROMs support it.

I never found a custom ROM that didn't support that (unless it's early alpha or those "android 13 for a device that shipped with android 5")

Keepass2Android has a fingerprint unlock and can be your password manager on Android
