I've used the current structure of the biometric plugin to use Android's capability of encrypting/decrypting data using a key that can only be accessible when the user successfully authenticates with their registered biometric methods.
More details on the need of this change can be found on the #2306 issue.
Summary of changes:
Kotlin
biometricCipher
that will be responsible to encrypt/decrypt data by asking the user for their biometric authentication and, when successful, get a key from android device to make the cryptography process.JS
Rust
Some implementation notes:
I'll need some guidance about where to change the site's documentation to include this new method.
