Feature Request: Add a pin along with the Face/Fingerprint ID.

Using a password with my database is untenable on a mobile device due to the length and special characters. I like the idea of using the faceID (or finger print reader on Android OS), but that seems too insecure. A simple addition of a pin along with the faceID would be a way of preventing someone from abusing the flaws of these helpful systems.

    Hi @BrockR!

    I like the idea of using the faceID (or finger print reader on Android OS), but that seems too insecure.

    May I ask why?

    Maybe a better way to explain this:

    Can a simple two factor authentication be added to unlock the database when using FaceID or a fingerprint?

    • Something I have: my face or my finger
    • Something I know: a pin

    I read the article suggested before posting, and although it talks about the security of the various methods this feature request is a relatively simple concept that fits right in line with a security product.

    The suggestion of 'just lock the database when you feel like it is unsafe to have just the FaceID', does not protect against in the moment situations.

    I will be happy to pass your suggestion to the team @BrockR :+1:
