How It Works:

Biometric or Boya PIN Prompt Upon App Return

Every time you come back to the Boya app after leaving it idle for more than a minute, you’ll need to authenticate before continuing. You can either use your biometrics (if enabled) or your Boya PIN. If biometric authentication isn’t set up, the app will ask for your Boya PIN by default.

To set it up:

  • Go to 'Profile & Settings' on the app

  • Under settings, enable 'Touch ID/ Face ID' to enable biometric authentication. Make sure you have set up your Boya PIN if you prefer to use that method.

    Both methods are simple to set up and offer an added layer of protection to ensure your account is secure at all times.

Idle Session Timeout

If the app remains idle for more than one minute, it automatically locks, and you’ll need to authenticate to get back in. This keeps your account safe if you ever leave the app open and unattended.

Benefits:

  1. Enhanced Security: Every time you leave the app for over a minute, the automatic lock ensures that no one can access your account without your permission. You can trust that your sensitive data is protected at all times.

  2. Flexible Options: Choose between biometric authentication or a Boya PIN, depending on your preference and device capability. Biometrics allow for faster and more convenient log-ins, while the Boya PIN provides an easy fallback option.

  3. Peace of Mind: Whether you’re at work, traveling, or simply stepping away from your phone, you’ll have the assurance that your Boya account stays secure when left idle.
