Description

First of all, thank you for this great app!

I'm currently using a long password to unlock my key-store. Of course it would be comfortable to use a fingerprint or any other biometric method but I'm feeling that this may be too insecure.

Feature request:
Is it possible to combine a biometric method with a numeric pin which is set within the app?
Therefore not only my fingerprint will be used but also a numeric pin code to unlock the store. With this method in combination I would save a lot of time while unlocking the store but would still have a higher level of security.

Thanks for consideration!

Research direction
