@Harley Middleton i would move the protector then to see if it sorts out the issue

@tech_ni Will have to try this and update if this works, I'm sure it's the screen protector and the list of screen protector for the current Pixel line after 6 some models have some issues with screen protector. Thanks for another perspective on this issue.

Thank You for all who giving me me suggestions and advice, I have removed the screen protector and it works with no issues, So next time when getting a new device I will make the decision on my own for accessories for my device so I don't have issues. Take Care Cheers!

I have a Pixel 6 Pro with a screen protector on it. At first I was having difficulty with fingerprints getting recognized, but I deleted and reentered my fingerprints a couple of times until it finally started recognizing my finger reliably. I'm not sure if it's that or the fact that I had to replace my screen protector at least once due to it getting cracked, but between those two occurrences it finally started working well.

I do note that my screen protector actually has a clear circular area above the fingerprint reader that has a distinctly different appearance than the rest of the screen, presumably for the sake of the fingerprint reader.
