Allowing your smartphone's unlock method to be used for logins in the LINE app
1. Tap the Home/Friends tab > Settings > Account.

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.

1. Start the smartphone version of LINE.
2. Tap the Home/Friends tab > Settings > Account.
3. Tap Face ID/Touch ID for iOS or Device unlock method for Android > Disable.
When you disable your smartphone's unlock method for logging in to LINE, you'll be logged out of your account on iPad and PC. To use your account on an iPad or PC again, log in with your email address and password or with a QR code.
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.
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.
