Turn on the app lock
The app lock asks for a password, or your fingerprint or face, before KUVRT opens.
- Open Settings, then "App lock". Open App lock
- Tap "Lock with fingerprint or face". Or type a password under "Password" and "Password again", then tap "Lock with a password".
- Choose when it locks under "Lock after": "Immediately", "1 minute", "15 minutes" or "1 hour".
A password has 4 to 64 characters. Any characters work.
While the lock is on, hold the KUVRT mark at the top left of the chat list to lock at once - Ctrl+L on a computer - and the same screen has "Lock now", "Change password" and, at the end, "Turn off the app lock", which asks first. Changing the lock asks for your fingerprint or face, or your password, first.
While KUVRT is locked, what it keeps on this device can only be read with your password, fingerprint or recovery phrase. New messages still arrive and wait, sealed, until you unlock; notifications say only "New message".
What this cannot do
- A forgotten password cannot be recovered. Your recovery phrase opens KUVRT instead.
