BUG? MLO-Android: "Lock profile" requires passcode no matter the time set in "Require Passcode"

[Roberto Penzo]

Hi all.

I am running MLO Android rel. 2.12.0.

Long time ago, on the "Lock Profile" setting I set a Simple Passcode on "Lock Profile", and I also set a 2 hours time on the "Require Passcode" option.

It worked fine until a certain date (a certain release? which one?), but now, on 2.12.0, it requires me to enter the passcode every time I launch MLO, no matter how much time has passed from the last time I launched it.

Someone of you is experiencing the same as me?

Thank you very much.

Roberto from a city near Venice, Italy.

Update: if I choose "15 seconds" as the timeout, it works well. With other timeouts it does not work.

Hi Roberto,

If the app is unloaded from the memory, you need to enter the password again.

Hi Alyona
I also see this ?bug.

To reproduce:
Set the interval to 2h.
Create an mlo widget (widget which displays tasks) on android screen.
Run mlo from the standard mlo shortcut.
Enter password.
Press home to switch to the android Homescreen.
Run mlo from the WIDGET!!
The password screen will be displayed again. (Instead if you run mlo from its default shortcut, the password screen won't be displayed).
So it seems to be a bug.

Just checked with the developers that it's not a bug. The main principle there: it's better to ask a password once again than miss it. Through the widget you can enter not only the current but any profile. Therefore, the countdown is carried out separately there. But the next time you use widget, it shouldn't ask a password earlier than in 2 hours.

The developers are going to reconsider the existing algorithm.
