Hi!
I find that on iPhone, the app asks to use Face ID too frequently when the option is enabled. These interactions do not seem to be placed correctly in the user flow.
I have identified three cases where Face ID is requested:
When opening the app. I have no issue with this as it is obviously the desired behavior for securing the app.
When editing a TOTP entry. It doesn't make sense to request Face ID at this stage. If I simply want to change the entry name or the account name, using Face ID seems overkill. I propose removing this interaction and only requesting Face ID when the user clicks on the eye icon to view the secret key.
When deleting a TOTP entry. Face ID is requested between the first click on Delete and the confirmation. This makes the process very disruptive; when I click to delete something and validate with Face ID, I naturally expect the action to be completed. Therefore, I think Face ID should only be requested after the deletion confirmation.
Lastly, we could simply consider that securely unlocking the app with Face ID is sufficient. I'm unsure if I prefer this solution; on one hand, it would slightly reduce security and the risk of mishandling, but on the other, it would make navigation much smoother.
