Password and Biometric Security

Password and Biometric Login

In PortPay Pro, when users are creating or importing a wallet, setting a password is optional. However, there are key implications if the user chooses not to set a password, especially in relation to biometric security features such as FaceID or Fingerprint login.

Key Points:

1. Password is Optional
  • During wallet creation or import, users have the option to set a password. While not mandatory, a password adds an additional layer of security for accessing the app and wallet.
2. Biometric Login Activation
  • Biometric login (FaceID / Fingerprint) can only be activated if a password has been set. This means:
  • If no password is set during wallet creation or import, the user will not be able to activate biometric login for enhanced security.
  • To enable biometric login, the user needs to set a password during the wallet setup process.
3. Why a Password is Important for Biometric Security
  • Biometric login works by linking the biometric authentication to the password. Without a password, the app cannot securely enable FaceID or Fingerprint recognition.
  • Setting a password ensures that if biometric login fails or isn’t available, users can still securely access their wallet using the password.

Recommendations for Users:

  • Set a Password: For users who want to benefit from biometric login (FaceID / Fingerprint), it is recommended to set a password during wallet creation or import.
  • Enable Biometric Security: Once a password is set, users can navigate to the settings page and enable biometric login for faster and secure access to their wallet.

This section emphasizes the relationship between setting a password and enabling biometric login in the PortPay Pro app. Users who prioritize convenience and security should consider setting a password to unlock biometric features.
