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.
