This patch replaces the usage of the deprecated FingerprintManager API with BiometricPrompt. This uses the Android X library, so we get the native biometric prompt on recent versions of Android and a Google-made one on older versions. By not working with custom prompts for biometric authentication like we do now, we can be sure that any issues like #70, #81, #237 are not actually our fault. Here's what it looks like:  As a nice aside, this also adds support for the new facial recognition as an authentication method on Pixel 4 phones. This is still a draft, but early feedback is welcome.

Aegis Authenticator is a free, secure and open source app to manage your
|
||
2-step verification tokens for your online services.
|
||
|
||
<b>Encryption</b>
|
||
All of your one-time passwords are stored in a vault. If you choose
|
||
to set a password, which is highly recommended, the vault will be encrypted
|
||
using AES-256. If someone with malicious intent gets a hold of the vault file,
|
||
it’s impossible for them to retrieve the contents without knowing the password.
|
||
|
||
<b>Biometric unlock</b>
|
||
Entering your password each time you need access to a
|
||
one-time password can be cumbersome. Fortunately, you can also enable
|
||
biometric unlock if your device has a biometrics sensor.
|
||
|
||
<b>Compatibility</b>
|
||
Aegis supports the HOTP and TOTP algorithms. These two algorithms are
|
||
industry-standard and widely supported, making Aegis compatible with
|
||
thousands of services. Some examples are: Google, GitHub, Dropbox, Facebook
|
||
and Instagram.
|
||
|
||
It is also compatible with Google Authenticator. Any website that shows a QR
|
||
code for Google Authenticator also works with Aegis.
|
||
|
||
<b>Groups</b>
|
||
Have a lot of one-time passwords? Add them to custom groups for easier
|
||
access. Personal, Work and Social can each get their own group.
|
||
|
||
<b>Backups</b>
|
||
To make sure you will never lose access to your online accounts Aegis
|
||
Authenticator supports exporting your vault which you can import onto a new
|
||
device. Aegis Authenticator also allows you to import AndOTP and FreeOTP
|
||
databases so switching to Aegis is made easier for you.
|
||
|
||
<b>Open source and license</b>
