    TapForms is not prompting for a password after returning to an open script.

    I have a form with a s script field in it. If I open the script to view/edit it and then switch to another app and back to TapForms then I’m not prompted for a password. However, if the focus is anywhere else in TapForms before switching to another app and back then I get prompted for a password.

    Here is my environment:

    – iPad with latest iPadOS build
    – Enable Touch ID: On
    – Auto-Lock: immediately

    Also, if I just let the screen time out while viewing a script in TapForms, and pressing the home button on the iPad to wake it, I’m not prompted for a password.

    Is it an encrypted document you’re working with or did you password protect the entire app?

    I encrypted the database under Tools | Security Settings.

    Brendan, I didn’t know that you could encrypt the entire app from the main page by clicking on the lock icon at the bottom right. Very cool! :-)

    Just checked and it seemed to function properly when I secured the entire app. It’s only when the encryption is at the document level that it doesn’t prompt for the password.

    That’s not actually encrypting the entire app.

    The only encryption is at the document level because the database itself is encrypted.

    The app lock is really just a facade. It’s locking access to the app, but not encrypting the documents within.

    Yeah, that’s what I thought. Sorry, I meant secure/lock the entire app and not encrypt the app.
