Seriously? Are there people documenting their sign-in credentials?

I guess it depends on how much you trust your government. Or trust that a bad actor wouldn't cut off your finger or gouge out your eyeball. Imho, governments are the biggest threat.

yeah I'm sure if they want in desperate enough they'll go to those lengths...but I want some standard features. For the app to give me a little bit of the illusion of privacy and security

I'm glad you're laughing and acknowledge the illusion of security. I'm saying people have lost wallet contents by cellophane tape.

Lol. I'm not sure, probably a long password. But if we're honest, all security are illusion.

That's all I'm asking is if it's possible to give me that illusion so I think I can. Keep others out of my app....
That's it!..

Is it possible?

For this type of sign-in you could user an app like App Lock

Yeah I saw that...but wanted to know if there was any chance it'd be implemented here

This seems like a niche feature that can be provided by a dedicated app, so I don't think they'll spend their time on it (perhaps it could be contributed though).
