IdentityVault

The underlying vault API. You can gain direct access to the vault for more advanced usage by using the IdentityVaultUser.getVault method.

Properties​

config​

The current configuration of the vault will stay current as long as unsubscribe is not called.

Methods​

clear​

Clear all vault data including stored tokens, values, and passcodes. The vault will be empty and unlocked after this.

Usage​


_10
vault.clear()

Returns: Promise<void>

getAvailableHardware​

Gets the types of biometrics the device supports.

Please note, this method only shows the biometrics the device is capable of, and does not reflect whether the biometric methods are enrolled or enabled.

Traditionally Android has only supported fingerprint biometrics through the SDK. As of Android 10 multiple options are supported. Samsung devices can offer iris and face biometrics that exists outside the scope of the Android SDK. Since there is no official Android SDK support to detect those Samsung features, we attempt to determine their presence based on if the device has the Samsung face or iris biometrics software installed.

Usage​


_10
const availableHardware = await vault.getAvailableHardware();

Returns: Promise<SupportedBiometricType[]>

the list of biometrics the device supports

getBiometricType​

Get the type of biometrics the device supports
