Feature request: encrypt data and use biometric unlock

Open Mrnofish opened this issue 4 years ago • 3 comments

Track & Graph can be used to collect sensitive information; it would be a good idea to let the user encrypt their data and provide biometric unlocking.

I agree with this however I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this project right now so I'm not sure I will be able to get this done in the near future. I have found that I'm able to add bio-metric unlocking to the app via the android OS so you could try this? However the database is not encrypted.

Should this not be strictly up to the operating system? I think it would get cluttered and inefficient if every application required its own encryption. A lot of apps can be used to collect sensitive information.

Like i say the database is not encrypted so this at least would need to be done app side. Most apps do add their own biometric/password unlock code also for better or worse.
