MyChat Client
[+] (28.03.2024) (android) added the option to use a PIN code for application protection.

How does it work:
- if allowed by rights in the settings, it activates the option for switching to the PIN code configuration screen;
- you can set up a PIN code from 4 to 8 characters (depending on the settings on the server);
- choose how often to request a PIN code after inactive time that counts after hiding the application;
- biometrics. If allowed, the interface for biometrics is automatically displayed after opening the application;
- it is possible to change a PIN code;
- the button on the Home screen instantly blocks the application when necessary;
- on the PIN screen, if a user forgets it, the button for logging out from the account is available. The PIN code resets, and you can set it up again in the settings;
- if a panic PIN code is enabled on the server, a user receives the error when trying to set up the same code;
- if a user enters the panic PIN code on the PIN code screen, all application data will be deleted instantly, and the administrators receive a notification about it. The user account will be disabled;
- if rights allow using a PIN code, the application suggests setting it up once for each user;
- if a PIN code is enabled but forbidden by rights, it will be automatically disabled;
- if a PIN code length changes on the server and it does not match with the current application PIN code, then it resets, and the app requests to set up the PIN code again;
- if you set up a new panic PIN code on the server and it matches with a user's code, then it resets, and the app requests to set up a PIN code again.

If you enter a secret "panic pin code" instead of your own PIN code, then all chat data is deleted, the account is blocked, all copies are logged out from the server, and the administrators receive a notification about this event:
