Hello there I am working on a React Native app (with react native CLI) to implement authentication. For Android, implementing Biometric authentication is not bad, but since some of devices don't support biometrics, we have to implement secure sign in for them as well. So, how to authenticate in the app using lock screen credentials like PIN, pattern, or password for devices that don't support Biometrics?

It's not a good idea because when I use this package, I have to store this PIN somewhere.
