Mobile Security & Biometric Lock

Mobile Security & Biometric Lock

A privacy-first, device-native security layer for the Ontourage mobile app — leveraging WebAuthn biometrics rather than proprietary PIN systems.

Biometric Authentication

  • Device-native Face ID, Touch ID, or fingerprint via the WebAuthn API
  • No proprietary PIN system — uses the operating system's secure biometric prompt
  • Per-user opt-in via a toggle switch in Account → Security (never automatic)
  • Credentials are scoped per user — each team member controls their own lock

Smart Lock Behaviour

  • Locks automatically when the app is backgrounded or the device sleeps
  • Unlocked flag persists within a session to avoid repeated prompts
  • Returning users with credentials are prompted on app launch
  • Users without credentials pass through uninterrupted

Branded Lock Screen

  • Custom LockScreen with the Ontourage gradient logo
  • Biometric prompt delegated to AppLockProvider to prevent duplicate OS prompts
  • Graceful fallback for devices without biometric hardware
  • Session-aware — doesn't lock during active multi-tasking
