Log into vaults using face recognition #169

Closed SailReal closed 4 years ago

SailReal commented 5 years ago

Description

Currently Cryptomator for Android just supports fingerprint authentication to unlock a vault. Based on this, as a user I want to be able to log into vaults using face recognition.

There is no fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 4, either… Given that I also rely on Cryptomator to secure personal data on my phone, this all of a sudden has become a pressing issue for me, too.

When can we expect Cryptomator to take advantage of the Biometric API built into Android 10?
