logging in every time is too burdensome #9

Right now, every time the screen locks (even with the app still open), the user needs to enter the passcode. This makes sense, having a layer of security when there's the possibility of someone else getting access to your data.

However, closing and restarting the app requires you to:

  1. select an email for your account
  2. enter your passcode
  3. enter your email (free field, even though it was selected in step 1) and password (with no option to 'show password')

This requires a lot of effort on behalf of the user to participate. Is logging in every time necessary? Many users (for instance, me) get frustrated by constant logins and would probably stop using it pretty soon.

in iOS, only steps 1 and 2 apply (even after closing the app). However I agree that constant logins are frustrating.

Unnecessary clicks are also annoying - at step 2 (after selecting email), perhaps having the enter passcode field already selected would make it more user-friendly. The only problem I see with this would be blocking the forgot passcode? link, but repositioning that link would solve it

edit: further ease of signing in - skip step 1 by defaulting to last used email, with sign in re-worded to different user? We could these options on the bottom to the top of the page - this would change the design quite a bit though
