[BUG] Cannot disable forced random Passphrase/Password Question when Biometric Lock is enabled

Open theAkito opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

I'm using this app regularly, because it's mostly useful.

However, there is one thing about it, that seriously annoys the absolute crap out of me. Whenever I open the app, especially when I need to really quickly note something ASAP, I get this pop-up asking, whether I remember my passphrase and I am forced to put it in, even though I have biometric locking enabled.

Like, just as any other sane person, my password is saved in a password manager, so I don't need this app blocking my work flow, especially when I need to note something as quickly as possible.

The worst & most taunting about this is, that it happens seemingly randomly. I cannot expect it or anything. It just happens sometimes. I don't know how this app does it, but it always appears, whenever I need to open the app really quickly.

This is so infuriating, that I really consider this a huge bug. This is not a feature request, it is a request for a big face biting bug to be fixed.

Suggestions

One or more of the following could be a valid solution.

  • Add an Enable/Disable Toggle Button.
  • Let the user decide how often or when the passphrase is asked for.
  • Let the user manually enable "Ask me next time" so the user knows, it will ask only the next time the app is opened.
