The latest update, was confronted with this when I opened Monzo this morning.
That said, if i exit the app and go back to it moments later, I’m not asked for biometrics, so perhaps there’s a time delay before I’m asked again?
Also, I seem to be able to turn it off in Security settings. So Monzo have turned it on, but I seem to be allowed to turn it off again.
Looks like the added a new screen when unlocking the app with biometrics. Screenshots/recordings are disabled when you have it switched on though so I can’t share.
I noticed my Monzo app was letting me in today without asking for a fingerprint? Had to go in and switch ‘app lock’ on. I never switched it off. Am I going bonkers? Android user.
That happens all the time if you log out. And some times when the app has updated.
seems a bit of a security flaw! how strange
The only thing anyone acting maliciously could do with your (already unlocked) phone in Monzo is view your balance. They would be compelled to enter a PIN/fingerprint to move money or make a payment or do anything nefarious.
Seems like the option is still there. Toggle switch to have biometrics or not.
Personally I’m glad to have it as an option, as if someone steals my phone whilst I’m using it (and therefore unlocked) as is happening a lot nowadays, I don’t think they will be able to get into my Monzo app. It was my only money app without extra security on it.
All they can do is view. They can’t do anything with your money.
It’s privacy, not security.
Don’t let my post directly above yours detail your theory.
No worries I won’t. Have a fab day.
