Enabling Face ID & Fingerprint ID: Log In Without Typing Your Password

Apr 20, 2026  |  Support Resource, CellGate App

Biometric sign-in lets you open the CellGate app with your face or fingerprint instead of typing a password. This shows how to turn it on, once your phone’s own Face ID or Fingerprint ID is set up.

Before you begin

Make sure Face ID or Fingerprint ID is already set up on your phone. If it is not, open your phone’s Settings app and complete that setup first; the CellGate app uses your phone’s existing biometrics, it does not create its own.

Turn on biometric sign-in

  1. In the CellGate app, tap the hamburger menu in the top left corner.
  2. Select Settings.
  3. Find Biometric Sign-In and toggle the switch on the right to enable it.

From then on, you can log in with your fingerprint or Face ID instead of your password. If you have not installed the app yet, start with downloading and logging in.
