Reset password entered on Apple IOS devices (v9.5.2 client)
There will be an option to reset it using a command in the future.
When you use the weburl to reset the the account password, that doesnt work for you?
Track-trace this is about the Traccar Client app.
Its the IOS app that you now can put a password to access the setting on that I can't reset. Currently when you forget that password you can't remove it with the normal app uninstall with "remove settings" as it still remembers the password after uninstall/install on IOS.
Ok i see, on ios apps i use face recognition for apps that i want to protect from others editing it. And also use the hide app function so it only can accesed / be opened with my fingerprint.
Using face id is kind of pointless in this case. We want to password protect from the user.
Ok i see, if you give a user acces to the app, cant he then simply remove the app ? Actually i am in general only using Android.
Honestly I think the password protection in it's current implementation is not as useful as it should be here is why, the reason why you want to password protect traccar in case of being an employer and you want to prevent your employee from turning off tracking or changing traccar settings so if you set the password they cannot change anything about the configurations but they can still see their device ID so if they really want to turn off tracking or change any configurations they will simply uninstall the traccar app from their device and reinstall it on a different device that they have full control over and just simply use the same device ID this way they can bypass the password protection altogether. In order for the password protection to reach its potential, the device ID has to be hidden if a password is set in traccar, this way a user can't get around the password protection on traccar.
Or they could still disable gps or temporary remove app permissions, disable background services, disable battery usage, clear cache or switch off internet. Or just switch of the device (on my android phone the app did not start automaticly after reboot) If someone would not like to coorporate there seem to be plenty options to work against the app.
True, if someone has physical access to a device and the will, then they absolutely can. But at least traccar should protect against leaking any info to the user to lock down traccar and prevent any unauthorized changes to the app if a password was set. What is beyond traccar's control isn't something Anton can mitigate. But hiding the device id when a password is set is a no brainer
There's no bulletproof solution, but uninstalling the app and installing a spoofed version on a different device seems like a pretty high bar.
Hi
By mistake I entered a password I don't remember during the setup of the client app on a IOS device. Un-installing the app and wiping the app configuration during that process seems to not do what is needed because when i re-install the app it remembers the password.
It can't be that I have to wipe the entire phone to be able to get rid of that password....
