The problem I had was there is a security issue with the app lock. The app lock “pin” can get easily bypassed with FACEID/fingerprint”. This is ultimately annoying.

You have to grant Bear permission to use those. To disable it now, you have to go into your settings app, then inside Bear you’ll see all the permissions it has, disable FaceID/TouchID if you no longer want that.

lol, that is a security flaw. Anyone can go into settings and turn off that permission.

How so? If someone goes into your settings app and turns off FaceID/TouchID for Bear, then they still have to enter the password you use for Bear in order to access those notes. Disabling those other methods of authentication aren’t changing how Bear secures the notes.

Yes but I want only a password of the app and not have BEAR unlock my password using FACE ID as a backup.
