Mobile login, 2FA, and biometrics
One account, one password, one 2FA. The phone adds the convenience layer: your face or fingerprint.
Signing in
The apps use the same credentials as the web, and the same rules: a new account must verify its email before the first sign-in, and password resets requested from the phone work identically to the web's. If two-factor authentication is enabled on your account, the app asks for your authenticator code after the password, exactly as the browser does; there is no separate mobile 2FA to configure.
Biometric unlock
Once signed in, biometric unlock can be enabled in the app's Settings: Face ID on iPhones, fingerprint on Android. Enabling it asks for your password once, to confirm it is you making the decision, and from then on opening the app is a glance or a touch. Your password still exists and still works; biometrics are a faster door to the same lock, and disabling them in Settings returns you to password entry.
If Face ID stops offering itself
Sessions and the paywall
- The app keeps you signed in between visits; signing out is explicit, via
Sign Outon the More tab. - An expired trial or lapsed subscription shows the subscription screen rather than your data disappearing; your ledger is intact and returns with the subscription.
What next
Two-factor setup itself, along with passwords and remember-me on the web, is covered in the account security guide.
