It would be a useful feature asking for a password/pin/fingerprint for accessing the remotes.

KeePassDroid has this feature, you don't have to enter your password once you have set your fingerprint : https://github.com/bpellin/keepassdroid

Bump. I think as is, this app leaves the door open to all configured rclone remotes, including crypt remotes. Please add a password mechanism with a timeout limit. Also, how is the imported rclone.conf data stored? Highly secured?

I think this feature would be useful as well.

Concerning the previous points...

Current situation

Also, how is the imported rclone.conf data stored? Highly secured?

The configuration data is saved in the applications' own folder which is not accessible to other applications, unless you have root. Importing an encrypted configuration stores the configuration data unencrypted.

Potential Features

  1. Support rclone config encryption for secret/credential encryption at rest
  2. Password/Fingerprint lock for the app itself

I'll look into 1.

EDIT: 1. was already discussed in #182, but has not yet landed as a feature. So only 2. remains.
