Description

One thing I love about apps like Signal and Wickr is that I can have them require a passcode/TouchID/FaceID when I reopen the app, or even have them log out every time.

The Keybase Electron app has this (macOS but that's not OS specific), why can't it be implemented into the iOS/Android App? Having the code/FaceID/TouchID to access the app would be really awesome.

Research direction

Start with the iOS and Android app entry points and compare the existing Electron screen-lock behavior. Define whether reopening requires a passcode, Touch ID, or Face ID, and whether users can instead log out every time; done means the chosen behavior works consistently on both mobile platforms.
