How to Lock Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock on iPhone

iOS 18 Face ID lock and Hidden folder · DoubleVision Labs · checked November 2026

Time needed
4 taps
Needs iOS 18 or later

Works for Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock whether or not it has its own passcode. No download needed.

Short answer

Touch and hold Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock's icon, tap Require Face ID, then confirm. On iOS 18 and later that puts Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock behind Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode; choose Hide and Require Face ID instead to move it into App Library's Hidden folder as well.

Lock Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock with Face ID

  1. Find Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock on your Home Screen or in App Library.
  2. Touch and hold the icon until the quick-actions menu opens.
  3. Tap Require Face ID (or Require Touch ID / Require Passcode, depending on your iPhone).
  4. Tap Require Face ID again to confirm. Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock now asks for authentication every time it opens.

To test it, close Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock from the App Switcher and open it again. You should see the Face ID prompt before any content appears.

Hide Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock in App Library

  1. Touch and hold Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock's icon and tap Require Face ID.
  2. Choose Hide and Require Face ID instead of Require Face ID.
  3. Confirm. The icon leaves your Home Screen and moves to the Hidden folder at the bottom of App Library.
  4. To open it later, swipe to App Library, tap Hidden and authenticate.

Hiding also locks the app. To undo either, touch and hold the icon again and choose Don't Require Face ID.

Why lock Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock?

Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock is a password manager, the kind of app that tends to hold personal information you would not want on screen if someone borrows your unlocked phone. A password manager holds the keys to every other account. Data collection on the label should be limited to what syncing and billing need, and your vault should be end-to-end encrypted.

Productivity apps tend to collect the work you do in them — documents, notes and files — so User Content is common. The question is whether it syncs to the developer's servers and how it is protected there.

A lock answers one question — who can open the app on this iPhone. It does not change what Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock sends to its developer; for that, see Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock's full privacy report.

FAQ

Does Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock have its own passcode?
Some apps offer an in-app PIN or biometric lock in their settings. The App Store privacy label does not say whether Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock does; the iOS 18 lock works regardless.

Locked and hidden apps do not show message previews or content in notifications, and their content does not appear in Spotlight search or Siri suggestions.
Can someone who knows my passcode open a locked app?
Yes. If Face ID fails, the lock falls back to your device passcode. Keep the passcode private if the lock matters to you.
Is a locked Fingerprint Login:PassKey Lock encrypted?
The lock controls who can open the app on this iPhone. It does not change how the app stores or syncs data. Encryption depends on the developer and on your device passcode.

You need iOS 18 or later. Some Apple apps such as Settings, Calculator, Maps and Camera cannot be locked or hidden.
