Fingerprint or pin login setting on Firefox IOS, each time I set this it doesn’t work, are people having the same issues?

Just to make sure, you are using the steps in the article below. Correct? It's easy to skip the last one.

Thank you for your reply, yes I have gone through these settings before, but I never appear to be able to lock with a pin or use fingerprint recognition on IPhone. (Was 6s Plus, now SE 2020 - both the same out come).

Perhaps this was a typo. A pin/fingerprint is used to unlock an app or site, instead of entering a username and password.
