How Do I Secure My Apps With Fingerprint?

Published in App Security 2 mins read

You can secure your apps with fingerprint using an app locker that supports fingerprint authentication.

Here's a breakdown of how it generally works based on the provided reference:

  • App Lockers: You'll need to download a third-party app locker from the app store. These apps are designed to add a layer of security to your other apps.
  • Setting Up the App Locker: After installing, the app locker will likely ask you to set a password or PIN as a backup.
  • Enabling Fingerprint: You should find an option within the app locker's settings to enable fingerprint authentication. You'll then use your device's fingerprint scanner.
  • Locking Apps: Select the apps you want to protect from within the app locker. Once set up, when you try to open a locked app, it will ask you to authenticate using your fingerprint.
  • Unlocking Apps: The video mentioned that when you open a locked app, you can use your fingerprint to unlock it.

Example:
Based on the video, after setting up an app locker:

  1. You would open a locked app.
  2. The app locker would then ask for a password or a fingerprint.
  3. You would use the fingerprint to unlock and access the protected app.
  4. You can also access the settings of the app locker using fingerprint.
