App Lock

BeeCount supports app lock to protect your financial privacy with PIN and biometric authentication.

Features​

  • PIN Lock - Set a 4-digit PIN code required each time you open the app
  • Biometric Authentication - Support for fingerprint and Face ID for quick unlock
  • Multitask Blur - Automatically blurs screen content when switching to the app switcher, preventing others from seeing your data

Enable App Lock​

  1. Go to "Me" → "Security & Privacy"
  2. Enable "App Lock"
  3. Set a 4-digit PIN code
  4. Optionally enable biometric authentication (fingerprint/Face ID)

Lock Timing​

  • App Launch - Authentication required each time the app opens
  • Return from Background - Authentication required when returning from other apps
  • Timeout Settings - Configurable timeout (immediately, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes)

Privacy Blur Screen​

When app lock is enabled, switching to the multitask view (swiping up to see recent apps) will:

  • Automatically blur all app content
  • Prevent others from seeing your financial data in the app switcher
  • Blur disappears automatically when you return to the app
tip

The privacy blur screen only works when app lock is enabled. If you want multitask privacy protection, you need to enable app lock first.

Forgot PIN​

If you forget your PIN code, you can reset it by:

  1. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app
  2. Setting up app lock again
Note

Make sure your data is backed up via cloud sync before resetting, or local data may be lost.
