Securing Counter Data with Biometric & PIN App Lock
Configure Android BiometricPrompt fingerprint and device PIN lock that automatically shields your shop records whenever the app is backgrounded.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Navigate to Settings
Open Settings from the Profile screen and scroll down to the 'Security & Privacy' section.
Toggle 'Biometric App Lock'
Turn on the App Lock toggle. The system prompts you to confirm with your registered device fingerprint or screen-lock PIN.
Configure Auto-Lock Delay
Girvi enforces a 30-second background grace period: switching apps briefly keeps your session active, but leaving the phone unattended locks immediately.
Unlock Instantly at the Counter
Whenever you resume Girvi, place your finger on the sensor or enter your device PIN for instant authenticated access.
Expected Outcome
Walk-in customers and staff cannot view sensitive loan records, gold weights, or cash balances if your counter tablet or phone is left unlocked.
Important Points & Common Pitfalls
- Not having a device lock screen PIN configured in Android system settings before enabling biometric app lock.
