How Do I Enable Biometric Authentication?

Security is important. Keep your account safe and secure.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

At Public, we take the security of our community extremely seriously, so we want to give you the best options to keep your account safe. On top of having a unique and strong password, one feature we recommend enabling is Biometric Authentication.

With this enabled, you will have to unlock Public with fingerprint, pin code, or facial ID, which keeps your account safe if you ever lose your phone.

To enable Biometric Authentication:

  1. Select the Menu icon ≡ in the top left corner

  2. Scroll down and select Settings

  3. Select Security and select enable biometric authentication (depending on your device this may say: Face authentication or finger print authentication)
