Request: FaceID for SimplieSafe App
I'd love it if the SimpliSafe iOS app checked FaceID before letting me arm/disarm/manage my alarm. Technically the phone locks with FaceID already, but it feels more secure for sensitive apps to require a second auth. Many other secure apps like bank apps, password managers, etc. do this.

While we do currently offer the option to secure the SimpliSafe app with a PIN using the App Lock feature, we have forwarded your request to have a Biometric App Lock to our dev team. In the meantime, if you'd like to set up the App Lock PIN, you can do so by following these steps:

When I select Configure App Lock, I select a PIN and then the app asks me if I want to use FaceID. I say yes, and then it will do a face scan and unlock the app, bypassing the PIN entry screen...

Thank you for correcting us @danieljustice! Yes, this feature is already included, and as danieljustice mentioned, you will be prompted to set up your FaceID or TouchID to unlock the SimpliSafe app after choosing your PIN.
