  • Wouldn't that have to get implemented on Lemmy's side first? Voyager doesn't add any hurdles to the regular login process.

    • No it would be implemented by the app. The purpose is to increase security so in case someone gets ahold of your phone while itโ€™s unlocked, they wouldnโ€™t be able to open Voyager and get access to your account.

      • I see the value, but I suspect this isn't a feature Voyager needs because the only apps that have that feature are password managers, banking apps, and Telegram/Signal --- that is, apps that are end-to-end encrypted and privacy-focused.

        • I think the value here is to add an extra layer of disconnect between me, the person and me, the lemmy user.

          Someone can easily profile me, the lemmy userโ€™s profile; but no one in real life needs to know me, the person, have a separate private lemmy account used for less than above the belt content. Having an extra layer of authentication doesnโ€™t guarantee it, but makes it harder for someone to swipe my phone and poke into that.

        • Yeah good point, I agree it's more important in those types of apps, but it would be nice to have.
