Description
Title
Account security options for Android app
Platform
Mobile app (iOS, Android)
Is it related to an issue?
With the Termix app installed and configured on a phone, anyone with access to the phone now has full access to Termix and every host configured in it. From a security perspective this is far from ideal.
The Solution
Having the option to not stay logged in and thus having to re-authenticate when opening the app would be a welcome mitigation.
Alternatively, just like Termius does on their Android app, give users the option to lock down the app using biometrics and/or a security pin / pattern.
Additional Context
I've been looking for an open-source alternative to Termius for ages, but sadly with the current state of insecurity Termix just cannot be used on mobile.

Research direction
Start by locating the Termix mobile authentication and session-lifecycle entry points; the issue does not name files or tests. Compare the Android and iOS scope, then determine whether re-authentication, biometric protection, or a PIN/pattern is the intended first milestone. Done means the configured protection blocks access to the app and is covered by platform-appropriate tests.
