whole-app biometric protection issue #705

Closed nicktyke closed 1 year ago

Hi I notice you have recently added fingerprint protection for the app. Upon launch once enabled, I have to authenticate. However, if I open another app, leaving the file manager running in the background, when I navigate back I can get back in without having to authenticate again.

If there's a good reason why not and this is deliberate behaviour, that's fine but in my opinion, it somewhat compromises the file security it is presumably designed to offer. Version 6.15.3, various devices

ye, that is currently the expected behaviour. The protection is needed only at launching the app, not at every resume.
