FAQ
My phone is not prompting me for biometrics.
Make sure your phone's OS and the SimpliSafe App are up to date. Then make sure that you have biometrics enabled in your phone's settings.
I'm trying to log in to the SimpliSafe App with biometrics and it's not working...
The SimpliSafe app only supports biometrics for App Lock at this time. If you are completely signed out, you will still need to sign back into the app with your username and password, as normal.
Can I still use my passcode?
Yes! You will always need to set a passcode in order to use biometrics, too.
I've been waiting for at least 10 seconds and my SimpliSafe App has not locked.
The app will only lock if it has been idle for at least 10 seconds. If you have the app open on your screen, it will remain unlocked, even if you are not doing anything in it.
