Required settings for logging in to LINE for iPad or PC with your smartphone's unlock method

To be able to log in to your LINE account on an iPad or PC using your smartphone's unlock method, you need to:

• Set an unlock method on your smartphone.

• Allow your smartphone's unlock method to be used for logins in the LINE app.

Setting an unlock method on your smartphone

For iOS:

Use Touch ID on your iPhone or iPad

Use Face ID on your iPhone or iPad Pro

For Android:

Check your phone manufacturer's website for details on how to set an unlock method.

Note: LINE will never save your unlock method.

Allowing your smartphone's unlock method to be used for logins in the LINE app

1. Tap the Home/Friends tab > Settings > Account.

2. Tap Face ID/Touch ID for iOS or Device unlock method for Android > Enable.

You'll know setup is complete when you see Unlink in the field for Face ID/Touch ID or your smartphone's unlock method.

Using your smartphone unlock method to log in is more secure because you are the only person who can use it.

You can increase your account security even more by not allowing logins with an email address and password. To only allow your account to be logged in to with your smartphone's unlock method or a QR code, tap the Home/Friends tab > Settings > Account and turn Log in with password OFF.

Note: Turning Log in with password OFF will not log you out of any devices you're already logged in to.

About using your smartphone's unlock method to log in to LINE

You can log in to LINE more securely by using your own device unlock method that you've set up on your smartphone.

To use this login method, you must:

• Be using LINE version 10.18.0 or later.

• Be able to log in to LINE for iPad or LINE for PC (for Windows or Mac).

For the recommended system specifications, see this Help article.

Using your smartphone unlock method to log in is more secure because you are the only person who can use it. The device unlock methods that are available depend on your OS, and include facial and fingerprint recognition.

Note: LINE will never save your unlock method.

Removing locks on your smartphone's unlock method

If you make too many failed attempts at using your smartphone's unlock method, you will be locked out from using it. To remove a lock on your smartphone's unlock method, follow the steps below for your device.

Removing locks on iPhones

If Touch ID or Face ID are locked, you'll be prompted to enter your passcode when logging in. Enter your passcode and log in again with Touch ID or Face ID.

Removing locks on Android smartphones

If there is a lock on your biometric authentication method (e.g. fingerprint, eye, face), you can remove it with the PIN code or unlock pattern you set on your smartphone.

Important: Be sure to use the passcode configured on your smartphone, which is not the same as the passcode lock for LINE.
