Startup Password for iOS

  2. Tap Settings > Privacy Settings.
  3. Activate the option Touch ID/Face ID, in the section Stealth.
  4. Read Startup Lock terms and tap Continue.
  5. Create a numeric password, then tap OK.
  6. Confirm your password by reentering it, then tap OK.
  7. Tap OK to acknowledge that Startup Password (or Touch/Face ID) has been enabled.
  8. Tap < and then Done to return to the member grids. Your changes will be saved automatically.

Startup password is now enabled on your profile.

Any time SCRUFF starts up, you will be prompted to verify using Touch/Face ID* or your Startup Password. Note that a password will not be required if you have not exited SCRUFF.

* TouchID and Face ID for supported iOS devices only.

Disable Startup Password

Forgot Startup Password

If you are unable to verify using TouchID / FaceID or have forgotten your Startup Password, you will need to delete and reinstall SCRUFF. Reinstalling SCRUFF will require you to accept terms and login again with your profile email and password.
