Unfortunately, at the time of biometric authentication, Android blocks any screen sharing/casting applications and the video displays a blank interface. Even though I am located in trusted places, the system still needs biometric authentication with no additional methods of authentication (e.g. screen lock).

Thank you for sharing the requested information. To better understand your issue, could you please clarify:
What specific behavior do you expect to see when you are in a Trusted Place and try to change sensitive settings?
Could you please confirm whether you are requesting a new feature or functionality or you believe the current feature is malfunctioning?

What specific behavior do you expect to see when you are in a Trusted Place and try to change sensitive settings?
— I would like Identity Check to stop asking for biometric authentication when I am in a Trusted Place. For example, at home, at my office, etc. Maybe due to unforseen circumstances, a user might need to authenticate using his/her set PIN code setting aside biometric authentication.
Could you please confirm whether you are requesting a new feature or functionality or you believe the current feature is malfunctioning?
— I am not requesting a new feature but rather, I believe that the current feature is malfunctioning. According to Google Online Security Blog, "When you turn on Identity Check, your device will require explicit biometric authentication to access certain sensitive resources when you’re outside of trusted locations" states that biometric authentication is only duly implemented outside Trusted Places.
What I have encountered is that even in Trusted Places, sensitive actions and settings purports biometric authentication when it is needless.

Additional comments
When doing sensitive settings with Identity Check turned, the user still needs to verify its biometrics even when the user is in a trusted place.
There are many scenarios that the user should not be using its fingerprint for authentication but instead rely on screen lock authentication.
Please fix this problem.
