The app takes your security seriously, offering a range of customizable features to safeguard your financial information:

* **PIN Setup**: You can create a personalized **passcode** to protect access to your data. Choose between 4, 6, or 8-digit PINs for the level of security you prefer.

* **Biometric Login**: For added convenience and security, enable **Biometric login**, using fingerprint or face recognition (if supported by your device), to quickly access your app without needing to enter a passcode.
* **Session Timeout**: Define the **session duration** to automatically lock the app after a certain period of inactivity. This feature ensures that your data remains secure if you accidentally leave the app open in the background.
* **Widget Access**: You can decide how much financial information is displayed on your home screen widgets:
  * **No Access**: Prevents the widget from showing any information.
  * **Show Items Only**: Displays entries without revealing sensitive financial details.
  * **Full Access**: Shows all items, including amounts, even when the app is locked.
* **Quick Lock Icon**: Located at the top right of the **More** menu, this icon allows you to instantly lock the app, adding a layer of quick protection when you need it most.

By combining these features, the app ensures your financial data stays private, while giving you the flexibility to adjust security settings based on your needs.
