Can't login to the App using Pin or Fingerprint

I can't login to the iD Mobile app using Pin or Fingerprint. It's annoying having to use email and password to log in every time. If there is anybody in iD Mobile out there, perhaps you can explain to all of us that have this problem, what is being done about it and when will you have it sorted out. If it's still broken at the end of this month I'll be walking. It's also amazing that I'm dealing with a communications business and I can't talk to anyone.

Hi Aklima,

The handset is a Huawei P30 6* using Android 10.

Hi @Harvey195 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused by this issue.

Our team have worked hard to ensure the app functions securely on all the latest browsers and devices, however, recent Android 10 Operating System updates have made some key changes to the way biometric login functions work on devices with this feature.  As always, our priority of keeping the security of customers’ accounts in mind, we made the decision to hold back from delivering biometric capability on Android 10 for this particular update to the iD Mobile app.   We can confirm that biometric login functionality is supported on Android 9 platforms.

As an alternative, an option is to utilise Samsung Pass,  the inbuilt password manager available on Samsung devices. This will allow you to save your iD Mobile password and access the iD Mobile app through Samsung Pass using biometric authentication. 

We will be looking to update Android 10 biometric functionality support as soon as possible.

If are you are trying to use biometric capability on Android 9 and you are finding this is not functioning properly, please can you let us know.

Many thanks

Hi @Kurtph1969 

My understanding is as they are running off Android this is the reason.

Can you confirm if you upgraded to Android 10?

Hi Aklima,

 

Thanks for your reply. As it clearly states in my previous post, the tablet is on Android 9 (Pie). The Samsung Galaxy S5E tab is not due to receive the Android 10 upgrade until July. So clearly, ID Mobile saying that it is an issue with Android 10 isn’t true.

I had a comment back on my review in the Google Play Store. The developers are working on a fix for this.

Any idea on time to fix? Online Chat were not able to answer any part of my question - disappointed.

Hi @Kurtph1969 

The fingerprint login is still being worked on behind the scenes.  We need to be 100% sure of it’s accuracy and ensure no security exploits can be made through the app on Android.

It’s a feature we know people love, so rest assured once we can have it back we’ll roll that out in an update to the App itself.  Fingers crossed the wait won’t be too much longer at this point.
