# iOS: Touch ID and Face ID

As of version 1.3 of the iOS app, protection using Face ID or Touch ID is automatically activated as an additional security feature. If you use neither Face ID nor Touch ID, but a password or PIN instead, these are required when starting the app.

If you do not need Face ID or Touch ID as additional protection in your GroupAlarm app, you can switch them off in the app settings. To do this, select the Use Touch ID/Face ID switch.
