Bug, passcode timer,

Postby roxind » Mon Jul 19, 2010 10:20 am

HI,

When you open the app and it asks you to enter a passcode, after several attempt, a timer prevents to re-enter a code after an incresing period.

Trouble is, if you close the app then re-open it, you can re-enter a code without waiting for the timer to elapses, therefore eluding the purpose of this security.

I'd rather get the same kind of protection that Apple offers, that it, deleting all files after 10 attempts. Is that on the pipe for a new release?

Sorry for my english, hope I'm clear.

Thanks for the bug report. Fortunately the timer does block entry after the first (incorrect) attempt made after restarting Files HD, but still this is a problem. We'll get it fixed for the next release.

We've had a few people ask about file deletion after 10 incorrect passcode attempts. So yes, I think this will be added soon.
