How do I programmatically disable the maximum failed attempts for an #Android fingerprint authentication?

I want to be able to increase the number of maximum failed authentication attempts. Currently the default is set to 5 failed attempts before the FingerprintService locks the user out and receives the message: "Too many attempts. Try again later."

Is there a way to programmatically remove the cap on the number of attempts and disable this message?

No but You can add more and other figers not just the index one. What works for me is always wipe my finger or erase all the current ones and register again, also make sure to register other fingers at the same time because if one doesn't work the other ones will.i also register my left fingers on add more fingerprints.

It's not possible, it's defined in Android 6.0 Compatibility Definition Document in Fingerprint Sensor section:

MUST rate limit attempts for at least 30 seconds after 5 false trials for fingerprint verification.

So each phone providers, with fingerprint sensor, must implements this specification to be compatible with Android specs (and allowed to install Google apps : GMail, Maps, Play,...).
