Zusammenfassung:Embodiments for enabling or disabling application features according to application-specific security settings are described. The application-specific security settings can control when particular security levels, corresponding to authentication procedures, are required. The security levels can correspond to authentication procedures such as requiring no password, only requiring a PIN, allowing authentication by biometrics, or requiring a password. The application-specific security settings can control security levels based on a variety of circumstances such as setting particular security levels for particular locations, setting different security levels based on time since last device use, etc. In various implementations, the security levels can be mapped to application features to enable or disable.
