Remove Secure Lockscreen requirement

Ideas đź’ˇ
#1

Opened Freetrade for the first time and the following message instantly pops up “You must set a secure lockscreen on your deive in order to use Freetrade”.

I dont have a passcode or a fingerprint setup on my phone and prefer to look after it and not waste time passing security. There is no reason to have this requirement which ruins the rest of the way I use my phone. Please just add an app only security feature like what Hargreaves Lansdown, Barclays or Monzo do. Just lazy coding and might mean I wont use Freetrade.

Certainly makes a change for people to ask for less security!

So you’re saying that if someone steals your phone, that does not have a passcode or fingerprint identity on it. That you will be happy for them to access your Freetrade app and have full control over your positions and money? Ludicrous…

You need pin or biometric to buy or sell

I’d definitely turn off an app lock. My phone is locked, that’s enough for me

Since you mentioned it, for everyone else - there’s an idea for that here Turn off passcode/biometric access to app :ballot_box:

I think honestly the simple solution here is to just give people the choice (same as in Monzo) that way it works for everyone.

It is not advised to have your device with less security in a period where even highly secure systems are broken so easily,for such security,you can depend on solutions from league of legends issue and make your device safe easily.

No that’s not what he’s saying. The app already has its own lock, so if someone gets access to the phone they won’t immediately have access to the app.
