ability to turn off biometrics verfication
and also option to use password, pin, pattern
Also not sure if its a bug but if you fail to do the biometrics 5 times you can't open the app (like on lockscreen) unless you lock and unlock the phone to reset the biometric attempts

I let the OS handle biometric authentication, which might explain why I couldn't replicate your failed auth scenario. I don’t see a reason to implement passcode authentication since (almost) all devices supported by memoria should have biometric authentication. Is there a specific reason you want the option to disable biometric authentication?

so i don't have to unlock it everytime? i mean sure if its a shared device you would want that or if others use your device but maybe you just want to reduce layers of interruption, however minute they may be

Also i often have trouble opening my phone through biometric and use pattern instead, which cannot be done since there is no option to switch to pattern lock
