Biometric unlock ​

On Android, PratikYedek can wrap your master password inside the device secure enclave (Android Keystore / StrongBox) so that you do not have to type it every time you open the app.

KVKK note: The master password never leaves the device. The Keystore-wrapped form is bound to the device hardware; uninstalling the app or factory-resetting the device destroys the key. PratikYedek cannot read or recover this value.

Enabling biometric unlock ​

  1. After the AuthBootstrap modal accepts your master password for the first time, the app offers "Use fingerprint / face next time".
  2. Tap Enable. Android will prompt for biometric capture (passport-grade Class 3 sensors only).
  3. The master password is wrapped with BIOMETRIC_STRONG and stored in Keystore.

Disabling biometric unlock ​

Settings → Security → Biometric unlock → toggle off. The wrapped key is destroyed immediately.

Why not iOS? ​

iOS support is deferred to Phase 4.5 (see ADR-025 and the Apple-en-sona decision). Until then, iOS users authenticate via master password on every launch through the web panel.
