Biometric (fingerprint) lock on notes?

Open Nikoichu opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Hey, I remember in the past I was able to lock my notes with a fingerprint, but that is no longer the case - only pattern and pin are available.

In which version was this functionality removed and why? I'd like to downgrade the app version so I have this option again, can you tell me the last version of the app that offers it?

I'm running android 10.

do you have fingerprint protection set up in your system?

@tibbi Yes, and other apps have no trouble using it.

what app version are you using?

tibbi avatar Jul 28 '22 20:07 tibbi

@tibbi 6.13.0, downloaded from F-Droid

locking of notes has already been added

@tibbi just for the record, I'm still unable to select fingerprint as a locking option on the latest version.

do you have it enabled in some system locking? Like locking your device etc

@tibbi Yes, as I said all other apps have no trouble using it and I'm using it to unlock my phone too.

maybe the issue will be with Android 10, it works just fine on newer versions. But I honestly dont really want to spend time implementing features for older devices that will be used by always less people.

Fair enough.
