I'm not sure what forum to put this in, but I've been doing some research and saw some posts about how MFP has an option where you can put a code on your app? I'm not sure if this is a thing anymore, since I can't find anything in my settings over it, but it'd be nice if I could have one over the app. My friends and family absolutely love taking my iphone (which dumbfounds me.. it's just a phone!) and looking at the "cool" features. I am fine with them seeing everything, just don't particularly feel comfortable with them looking through this app.
Any feedback will help!! Thank you guys!

    Since I've used MFP I don't recall seeing anything about a code. But I simply don't save my password, and log in when I want. If it makes you feel better, just call your password a code. :)

    @stinsjer000 It's available on the app settings:

    In iOS version of MFP

    More > Settings > Sharing and Privacy > Require Passcode

    Then you set it to whatever you want

    I'd strongly recommend having a passcode on the phone, if you don't. Otherwise, see above, though I thought that was for diary sharing, rather than the app in general. Perhaps I'm wrong.

    I may be wrong, I have my phone protected rather than MFP, so I don't use it.
