My Concern is that when a user wants App Lock for certain application the AppLock should be authenticated with a different password or pin or any other type of authentication.

Existing concern: Applications gets unlock with the user phone unlock password,user don’t have any option to set new password for AppLock.

Solution for the issue:: App lock should provide option to set new password for applications.Users should be able to create to set new password for app lock and this created password should be used for unlocking the applications.

        Hello, Nothing Community!

         I have a new idea to make our application lock and hidden applications, Screen Lock, have different password types like other O.S. If anyone gets our phones and adds their fingerprint to our smartphone, they can access everything on our phone that is fingerprint protected, including the big loophole in our smartphone. So I want to request that you make these changes in the next update to increase the security of our phone. Another point is that I couldn’t lock the setting app on my Nothing phone 2 so please add that application lock to the settings app.

            My lock screen password and app lock password are the same. Is there a way to set a different password for the app lock, as I often give my phone to others?

              Nothing has take a look which is user privacy features such as hide app ,lock app and separate privacy password which is missing in nothing phone ..app lock use the same password that we use to unlock the phone which makes no sense to the app lock as anyone who knows the lock screen password can unlock the app…so plz provide separate password feature for app lock

              Yes this is a big problem but no method to use other password or to remove the password and use only biometric 😞

              HarshSharma_EMUIM7ptrG Hey mate. This is not an available feature at the moment but, I’d let the Nothing team know it’s something you want by submitting feedback via settings > system > feedback 🙂 It’s the best way to get that feedback captured and considered for future updates!

                mdhaseeb yes you are right that’s a major drawback but some dumb people think privacy as a piece of cake cause they’ve never been attacked by breachers

                  Why they can’t provide a app lock password different from a screen lock password now its both are same so seperate the lock it was more useful and safe.
