Passcode + Biometrics in-app options in Day One for iOS
Using passcode and Touch ID to lock Day One on iOS
Day One on iOS has the option to enable a passcode or use Touch ID to unlock the whole app. The app-locking passcode should not be confused with the account password.
- Open Day One
- Tap on your profile picture to open the Settings
- Select Passcode & Touch ID/Face ID to get started
- Enable Passcode
- Create a new 4-digit passcode
Now you will see the customizable options for Passcode and Biometrics. The options are:
- Change passcode – Use this setting to update your current passcode to a new one.
- Require After – This setting lets you choose how much time must pass before the app requires your passcode again when reopening.
- Touch ID – If your device has Touch ID enabled and you have a fingerprint registered you can use this option to unlock your journal.
- Face ID – if your device has Face ID enabled you can use this option to unlock your journal.
- Prompt for Touch ID/Face ID on Startup – as soon as you open Day One, the Touch ID/Face ID prompt will appear.
FAQ
How do I reset my passcode?
Can I set a passcode for individual entries or specific Journals?
The passcode will only lock the whole app. It is not possible to lock individual entries with a passcode or use a passcode for just one Journal.
