How can an app be protected with a password?
Client would like a password requirement to access an app. No username required, just a password or passcode.
The idea is that if a user loses their iPhone, no one can access the app information w/o the password.
How do we do this?
You can use localStorage to save to the password. Upon app startup just check to see if the value is null, if it is then have then use gotoScreen to have the user set a password, if it’s not then require them to enter the password on the startup screen.
For extra protection, you can encrypt the password using the crypto-JS libraries.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply.
That sounds like a solution – BUT – in somewhat of an alien language to us in that we are not programmers.
It would be helpful if there were some sort of step-by-step process we could follow to make the “need password” happen on an app.
Is there such a reference location?
Here is Cincy’s localStorage How-To. Maybe it will help.
