Biometric support #3

Closed jeyasankar closed 1 year ago

NBA2K1 commented 3 weeks ago

Hello, I wanted to open a new issue regarding biometric support but saw this and that it’s closed.

Is this only for the Android app? Because I don’t see an option for that in iOS. Can you also add biometric support for iOS devices?

Hi @NBA2K1 ,

Biometric support is available for the iOS also. However for both iOS and Android the Biometric is supported only for the quick lock/unlock purpose and not to open the database. That means the database should have been opened previously by entering the master credentials and then "Locked" not "Closed". Hope this helps.

I planned to add later to store (optionally) the database master credentials in "Secure Enclave" and then use the biometric to open the database without asking the user enter the credentials
