Protecting Messages and Email

[Chef-Paul]

Hello,
I am wondering how I can protect (password protect)
the email folder and the message folder?

Doable in private mode?
or
Create a folder and drag in the apps and then password protect it?

One way or the other I have no idea how I can do it, and did not find much help from the PDF manual
thanks.

This is the one I use, you can also do locking with WiFi, etc.

If you want to use S6's Finger print, then FingerSecurity will do just that.

It won't lock individual apps.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding you here but yes, it does that for me, I can't open an app that I select on FingerSecurity to protect, if I try to open any app that I protected it asks me for my fingerprint.

Oh then that is strictly an S6 deal..

Well it looked to me that he had this app for the S5 first then added support for Note 4 and Note Edge and the last thing was to add support for the S6/edge. Going to the Play store it seems that way looking at the What's new section.

Anyway, it's a great little app and it does it's job very well, if anybody want to try it (it's free) go to this link:

Where do you go in the phone or app settings to setup a specific app to require fingerprint security to access it, even after you've used your fingerprint to unlock the phone?

That's what FingerSecurity App is for, you install it, then tell the app which apps you want to protect, after you do that, those apps won't open until you put your Fingerprint or if something goes wrong enter the Backup password.

OOOHHHHHHH .... I just realized you're talking about a third-party app called FingerSecurity ... and that you're NOT talking about the internal phone settings for fingerprint security to unlock the phone.

That explains it. Thank you.

Oh.. A third party app. I thought you meant a setting in the phone.

A nice little app and with a very clean and easy UI, it was developed by an XDA forum member and he is a very reliable and responsive man and love to keep his app up to date.
