unlock with fingerprint (as actual nextcloud dev android app does)

@jones4410, that's more like a feature request than an actual design idea.
Would be a nice feature but i think there are currently other priorities higher on the list.
Once full integration is complete and locking is in place maybe it's a good time to start thinking in fingerprints which i don't have a clue how to integrate with encryption currently tho. I don't even know if it would be a safe option cryptographically speaking.

@animalillo Might it be good idea to put the keypad farther up?
So as to not put the lower number at an extreme extension of the thumb.

For me the ideal area is in the top middle of the screen.
I suppose this would allow putting the text below the keypad, but that may prove to be alien or at least unconventional.
Though this is with big hands and current phone-sizes. Smaller hands, and increased phone-size will favour text above keypad.

By the keypad you mean the on screen keyboard? If so:

I don't think moving the standard keyboard position is a good idea because nobody would expect it and some users might even freak out.

Also, i don't even know if it's posible, but as i said i don't think it's a good idea.

As i side note: I only have small screen phones, i don't like big phones, i like something that fits nicely on my pocket. I wonder if there will be any existing small screen phones when i need to change my current one (4.5" and already feels way too big).

Mmm, just tried again after the recent update and as I remembered the password for the vault (it is VERY long to put it each time on a mobile device) I feel unprotected right now. As fingerprint unlock is in the TODO list, what about a simpler 4 digits unlocker like Nextcloud android app does? I think it fits on "design" ideas and it would increase security.

On the other hand, I have around 1000 passwords on the vault, so a search field and/or a scroll by letter would be great. For the search field, I would use the same technique as the passman web extension: put a magnifying glass icon which expands into a textfield when the user taps on it and filters the passwords list by searching the name, website name, or any significant field. The scroll aid is the typical from android: when you start to scroll down/up, a letter appears at right, pointing where on the alphabet are the passwords shown on the screen and a scrollbar appears also for the user to drag and scroll faster to the desired letter.

It would be cool if the login screen would match the official apps one. Without a selection for protocol needed (default https with fallback to http).
