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.
