Hidden Item Folder/Album - Option for PIN protect

[s38b35M5]

(This issue is perhaps best-suited to the desktop app, as mobile can simply use biometric auth as needed)
When you want to access your Hidden items, you are prompted to enter your account password, which enhances security considerably. However, in my case, my account password is complex and long, and only known to my password manager.

If there was an option to use a PIN or non-account Password/phrase, that could enhance usability while still providing security. It could default to the current arrangement, and have a setting to use less-secure authentication to provide access.

Placeholder comment to request clarification of this issue being reduced to a discussion

[mnvr]

The word "discussion" doesn't mean we're considering it less important, we have just migrated feature requests to discussions. When migrating, GitHub apparently closes the original.

The feature request is still not closed, if that is what your concern was. Our hope is that since in the Discussions the upvotes are shown at the top level by GitHub, we can keep our feature requests here and use the community upvotes to get some sense of which features to pick first. More information is here - #480.

Not just your issue, but other issues too are being moved (this is related to us open sourcing our servers yesterday)

Thank you for the explanation. However, keep in mind the current app points the user to the issues page when clicking "Feature Request."

Yes, I know. I'm trying to put up a banner to redirect to here (And of course, we'll fix the links in the apps in the next update)
