Request: PIN to start app

Perhaps it is there already, but I can't find it.

I'm thinking an optional four to six digit PIN before a user gets access to the app. The access permission should timeout after a bit, and any time the app shutdowns now.

Hi @oskrypuch,

Currently the app has edit locks but not a global setting to lock the app.  This allows admin to hide devices/folders which they do not want others to access then locking edits so they cannot be unhidden.

Pin has been requested before, however in my opinion it adds more complexity and little security.  Most mobile devices already have a pin and/or biometric locks, so if somebody has access to your device then they likely already have your pin. Depending on your platform there are other ways to lock apps, there are app on Android dedicated to this purpose. On iOS I believe the Screen Time app can do this if you set the daily limit to 0.  

I will add this to our list, but the priority will be very low compared to other features of higher priority.

... like a default color for negative values!? 😉

Well, the app specific PIN is different from the main system PIN, and quick and easy to punch in. I am not too worried about this mobile app, but personally would not use a higher risk app that didn't have an app specific PIN.

Thanks for putting it on the list, even if lower priority.
