FAQ:

• Q: Why does the database open successfully with an unregistered fingerprint during authentication?
  A: The correct entry of credentials (password and key file) is necessary to unlock the database as it is safeguarded by a secret key. Biometric authentication aids in the preservation and retrieval of this key. Failure in biometric authentication, if correct credentials are provided, results in database access without saving the secret key. This scenario does not pose a security threat.
• Q: How can I verify that KPass does not compromise my data?
  A: KPass operates without collecting, storing, or transmitting user data. Users can validate this by reviewing application permissions, noting the absence of network and storage access requests. The utilization of Storage Access Framework ensures the secure retrieval of data from sources like cloud services and file systems, preventing any unauthorized data extraction.
• Q: Why isn't KPass open source, and how can its security be ensured?
  A: The user interface of KPass is proprietary to protect its core value. While closed-source, the UI component does not involve critical code segments. KPass's engine relies on the open-source project gokeepasslib for secure operations.
• Q: Why does KPass's autofill feature fail on specific browsers?
  A: KPass adheres to standard Android autofill protocols supported by various applications but may encounter limitations with certain browsers like Google Chrome due to non-compliance. The commitment to standardization means specific application support modifications are unlikely. Users dissatisfied with this aspect have options for refunds or can await browser updates for reactivation of premium features.
