I've implemented Face ID in my app to authenticate after the user is authenticated, so they don't have to sign in again to log into their account. However, it asks me to enter my iPhone's passcode instead of scanning my face. Is there any way to fix this? Is there something I have to add?

Hello, I am writing a macOS CLI application that holds cryptocurrency funds and uses Secure Enclave for security. I intend to create APIs so that other applications can create transactions from user's wallet in a secure way for the user. I am using P256 curve and authenticating a transaction involves making a signature for a hash of transaction data. Currently, this is how the authentication box looks like: However, this does not display any information about the transaction. If user is using my application, then I could display the information in the terminal. However, if some other CLI app wants to create transactions for the user, printing information in the terminal is insecure since a malicious app could override what is being printed. I see a rich authentication UI in apple apps. I wonder if there is a way to write UI for such applications. I would like to display some transaction information in the box instead of just "myapp needs to authenticate to continue". It would be great if there is a way to customize that text / add more text to it.

Hi, I would like to know the guidelines or rules regarding the implementation of Local Authentication. My client requirements are: After the user login in with username and password, reset password, it will then authorize face id or passcode to be able to access/navigate the app. Subsequent access will also require face id or passcode to access the app. Clicking app notifications when app is closed will require face id or passcode to access app. Is this a proccess allowed by Apple? Thanks

Is the method used to unlock an iOS device available to an app? We would like to require a step-up to MFA (in our app) if passcode was used and allow for single factor if Face ID was used.

On Xcode 15.4, LAContext.biometryType had an @available attribute of visionOS 1.0. However, in Xcode 16, the @available attribute for biometryType was changed to a visionOS 2.0 minimum requirement, preventing the app from building if the minimum deployment target is earlier than visionOS 2.0. This was the attribute on Xcode 15.4: This is the attribute on Xcode 16: Feedback ID: FB13824190

I have used functionality of changing user's password programmatically using the OpenDirectory framework. Once the password is updated successfully, can be use this password for Login sessions and authentication wherever required. But the same password is failing authenticate with Local Authentication Framework that is with LAContext and prefers always older password. Even restarting machine won't work. Changing current user's password using below method - do { let node = try ODNode(session: ODSession.default(), type: ODNodeType(kODNodeTypeLocalNodes)) let user = try node.record(withRecordType: kODRecordTypeUsers, name: NSUserName(), attributes: nil) try user.changePassword(currentPassword, toPassword: newPassword) print("Password changed successfully") } catch var error { print(error) } Once password is updated, then trying to authenticate password with LAContext using, let context = LAContext() context.evaluatePolicy(.deviceOwnerAuthentication, localizedReason: "AuthenticationMessage".localized()) { success, error in DispatchQueue.main.async { completion(success, error) } print("authentication error = (String(describing: error?.localizedDescription))") } It won't accept the updated password. Any idea how to solve this problem?

Hi, Is this possible? I would like to: Store a biometrically secured key in the Secure Enclave. Do multiple cryptographic operations using that key in a short period of time (say 5 seconds), not all at once. Only do one FaceID for that set. For the time I've only gotten either multiple flashing FaceId requests or the operations failing. Is it possible to set a time limit in which the first FaceID authentication is accepted? Should I do something else? Thanks!
