bumping this, as there seems to have been no response from anyone on the dev team? please add the default security measures iOS offers for apps, using Pin/FaceID/TouchID. |

To me this request sounds like a no brainer. I was surprised that the companion app doesn’t offer this feature yet. It is the most common authentication solution on iOS that you would expect nowadays for every app that contains or gives access to sensitive personal data. |

Agreed, would be great to have - it is on my Android phone, why not my iPad? |

Please add this feature, it’s a very common feature which should be the standard for security. Please give the user the choice for enabling it instead of the choice of a developer. |

+1 This is a standard feature in apps managing sensitive/critical information. Why is it a problem to add it to ios? |

I agree, just yesterday when i was adding alarm, door lock and so on i was searching for biometric second authentication without solution. I would like to see it implemented as soon as it possible. +1 |

hmm, its. not the same.... its not the same as guarding the app with your face-id or code. so this FR still holds imho |

looking for Feature request, I now see this Discussion is only labeled with Hactoberfest, and does not contain the yellow label... please add that? Not sure if the opening author is still around to do so. otherwise we need to ask a dev to do so. |

I would like an option to be prompted for FaceID/TouchID each time the app opens. See the Microsoft Outlook app for an example.
There's a trend now for armed robbers to force you to hand them your unlocked phone.

With my unlocked phone and the iOS Home Assistant app, that robber not only knows where I live but can unlock my doors. That kind of power should be restricted and protected in a similar way to banking apps, etc, by using FaceID/TouchID. Many iOS apps do this now as a double-check when important data is involved. Home Assistant should do this also.
It seems this has been requested before by the community:
