We have made a number of updates and bug fixes since the last update, including:

Updated: We have introduced fingerprint login. Now you can log in using your fingerprint without entering a username and password each time.

Press Enable Biometrics login button and verify your fingerprint. You can go back to this screen later to enable/disable biometrics login by going to the Sidebar menu -> Settings -> Biometrics Login
There is a checkbox shown after you enable biometrics login: Verify <Touch ID | Face ID | Biometrics> "on app start?", if you check this checkbox, each time the app opens it will require biometrics verification.
Next, log out. Now on the Login screen, you should see a button with the fingerprint icon next to the Login button. Press on it.
If you have a single account with biometrics login enabled, it will prompt you for a fingerprint scan immediately.
