[Feature Request] Allow for alternative authentication on FaceID Failure #58

Open greenreader9 opened 1 year ago

greenreader9 commented 1 year ago

Is there an existing request for feature?

What feature would you like?

When the app is opened, and FaceID fails (For example, if someone else has the iPhone, or FaceID is just having trouble recognizing you), the current action is the "Enter iPhone passcode for "Session"" prompt from Apple.

The feature I would like added is instead of the "Enter iPhone passcode" screen, the user can enable an additional setting for a "Password" that is only used when FaceID fails. Basically, instead of iPhone having you enter your passcode on FaceID failure, the app has you enter a custom password to gain access.

Anything else?

This should be possible as I know of at least one other app that implements this: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spark-mail-ai-email-inbox/id997102246

👍 - WickrMe also has this feature. This greatly improves security.
