Describe the Bug

I have set both: Unlock with Biometrics and Unlock with PIN Code; any time I close the (mobile) application and open it up again, I just have to use one method to be able to finally use the application — instead of both methods.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Setup Unlock with Biometrics and Unlock with PIN Code
  2. Close the application and open it up again
  3. Use either one method (successfully)

Expected Result

User must be able to use both methods successfully in order to start using the application instead of just one of them.

Actual Result

Only one method is sufficient.

Environment

  • Device: Nokia 8.3 5G
  • Operating system: Android 10
  • Build Version: 2.6.1 (3178)
  • Is this a Beta release? N

This is the expected behavior. PIN and biometric are meant to be exclusive from one another.

OK, well that's...unfortunate. I think you should consider, in the future, to make them both required — and probably have an option to toggle between both choices.

Feel free to close this one...otherwise make it a feature request 😍
