Lock Groups with Biometrics
Protect access to a group with the device’s authentication options, including a passcode fallback.
On this page
Group locking is a Pro feature. It asks the operating system to authenticate you before opening a protected group.
Lock a group
Open the group’s action menu and enable its lock. When you open the locked group again, complete the system authentication prompt.
Depending on your device and settings, the system can offer Face ID, Touch ID, a device passcode or your Mac password. Biometrics are not the only supported way to authenticate.
If authentication fails
Cancel and try again, or use the fallback offered by the system. Check that device authentication is configured in your operating-system settings.
To remove the lock, authenticate and disable it through the group controls.
What the lock protects
The lock controls access inside Lognote. It is not a separately encrypted vault and does not add end-to-end encryption. Treat exported files and copies outside the app according to their own storage and access settings.
