Lock the app with Face ID or fingerprint

The Beyond Payday phone app can require Face ID, Touch ID or your fingerprint before it shows your finances. Turn it on in Settings › Security, and pick how soon it locks after you leave the app.

Before you start

• You need the Beyond Payday app on your iPhone, iPad or Android phone. App lock isn't available on the website or the Windows app.
• Face ID, Touch ID or a fingerprint must be set up on your phone.

Steps

1. In the app, go to Settings › Security (opens in a new tab).
2. In the App lock card, turn on Lock with Face ID (the label names what your phone uses, like Touch ID or fingerprint).
3. Confirm with Face ID or your fingerprint. If that check fails, app lock stays off.
4. Under Lock after, pick Immediately, 1 minute, 5 minutes or 15 minutes.

How it works

• When you come back to the app after the time you picked, Beyond Payday covers the screen and asks you to unlock.
• If Face ID or your fingerprint doesn't match, your phone offers its passcode. You can also tap Unlock to try again.
• To turn it off, switch off the same toggle.

Good to know

• App lock is saved on that phone only. It isn't synced to your other devices.
• It's an extra lock on top of signing in. It doesn't replace your password, passkey or two-factor sign-in.

FAQ

What if Face ID or my fingerprint doesn't work? Your phone lets you use its passcode instead. Tap Unlock to try again.

Does turning on app lock on my phone lock my other devices? No. App lock is saved on that phone only. Turn it on separately on each device.

Why don't I see the App lock card? It only shows in the Beyond Payday phone app, and only when your phone has Face ID, Touch ID or a fingerprint set up.
