Embodiments herein provide a dual optical and capacitance sensor. During a first time period, the dual sensor uses optical sensing to capture a fingerprint (e.g., to identify or verify the fingerprint). During a second time period, the dual sensor uses one or more capacitive sensor electrodes to perform capacitive sensing. The capacitive sensing may be absolute capacitive sensing or transcapacitive sensing.
