App Biometric log in
I've chosen to not enable biometrics on my phone as I can unconscious, while someone points the phone at my face or finger prints (most people will use one of two fingers for biometrics).
I find it preferable to keep passwords safely memorised, and this phone (or other technologies) are that little bit safer (or at least to me).
That said,I fully support your (and other peoples) choice to use different security features that are available to most of us.
I hope the relevant team come up with an answer that is helpful to you 😊
It’s a personal choice with biometrics, whether you wish to turn this feature on or off. My frustration is that even though this is switched on in app, the app simply doesn’t remember it since the update 2 weeks ago!
My app is iPhone, so Apple iOS, and you can chose to save username and passwords in iOS? …so, I suppose this feature could be enhanced to support those without biometrics or choose not use this feature…

Agreed, it's personal choice, and it is frustrating for things to not work the way you want.
iPhones are not my strong point. I'm more used to Android or Linux.

I use all these OS, as my work phone is Android, and used Linux many many years ago! They both have pros and cons…it’s whatever you’re comfortable withStrandloper. I’m on iOS because iMessage is preferable as all my family have iPhones and iPads…so works well for me! I also like that Apple deploy immediate security patches…but you pay the premium hardware cost for that 😆!
Well, let’s hope they find a solution at SMARTY to this for both Android and iOS users, because the way it is currently configured is a Step backwards!

Certainly not having the choice for our security choices isn't the best. May we all move forward 😊
