Password Protection for Automagic

Post by eldron » 04 Feb 2017 20:40

Hi,
is it possible to password protect automagic somehow?
I have had to save some passwords in automagic for some flows to work and they the passwords all show up as clear text within automagic. So in order to feel a bit safer if someone ever gets hold of my phone i´d like to lock automagic with a password, but couldn´t find the option anywhere.
If there is no option for it, maybe there is a way of achieving this with a flow?

Hi,

There's not built-in way to password protect Automagic. You could use one of the apps available on Google Play that protect other apps.
You could use the totally unofficial mechanism to place a file called lockfile in folder /storage/emulated/0/Automagic to prevent that the user interface of Automagic can be opened. You could build a flow that creates/removes this file.

Regards,
Martin
