We already allowed individual wallets to get PIN-to-Open/PIN-to-Pay
but that is too advanced for most users. Not to mention that encrypted
private keys means a slower payment process and certain types of
features become impossible. Like auto-invoicing (incasso).
The gap, for mobile, is a simple not-encrypting password on startup
of the app which is likely what 80% of the privacy / security minded
people on mibile will be more than happy with.
This adds this mode and additionally streamlines the encrypted modes
of wallets.
this also changes the API propertes that handle encryption details a
little. Making them faster and the meaning follows the logical
conclusion of the naming better.
Specifically:
when needsPinToOpen would return true, now needsPinToPay will also
always return true.
This detects that the currently selected wallet is fully encryted and if
it is, it shows a password request page on top of the current screen.
The default setup aims to have people type a PIN in numbers to unlock
the wallet, but we also provide a way to make it use a textual password
instead.
