I’ve been sent an upgraded sim, it worries me if I insert it into my phone will my thumb print allow access to all apps eg online banking, there’s no way I can remember my passwords for all apps?

A upgraded SIM should not affect the operation of your phone in any way.

Hi @Traciedoll 

Your finger print is encrypted locally on your device. If you have a new device then yes you'll need to set up those apps again with your passwords and then authorise the finger print you have entered during the set up process. 

If you are just replacing your SIM then nothing will be different as @XRaySpeX has said. 

Thanks
