How to disable logging into the app?

LordP666 — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 17:50:22 GMT

I had to select a model but this is about the app. I live alone, I am retired and there is no one to mess with my phone.

I have an Android phone - Pixel 6 - and although I use my fingerprint to open the app, it's getting tedious to keep doing this so many times a day.

Is there a way to bypass this? Or maybe to only have it ask for a login once a day?

I am replacing my Ring devices with Arlo stuff and I realized that the Ring software doesn't ask for a login quite as remorselessly as the Arlo app.

It's a pain in the butt - a small pain, but still a pain.

Try disabling the touch login setting within the arlo app settings, under profile, under login settings.

Hmm.

I don't have that option, "touch login". I have "Log in with Fingerprint" and I guess I'll try that.

That did the trick, thanks.

I don't understand why one method of logging in is...more demanding (?) than another, but there it is.

It never would have occurred to me, so, thanks again.

I was using the iOS app but you got there anyway.
The finger print login option is an overkill since the phone has to be unlocked to get access.

Thank you, that worked great.

I know i said it before but I got an email asking that I declare this in a post...so, yes, it worked.
