title: React native Android - Authenticate using lock screen credentials like PIN, pattern, or password for non Biometric devices
body: <p>I am working on a React Native Expo app to implement authentication. For Android, implementing Biometric authentication is not bad, but since a lot of devices still don't support biometrics, we have to implement secure sign in for them as well.</p>
  <p>So, one of the requirements is to authenticate into the app using lock screen credentials like PIN, pattern, or password for devices that don't support Biometrics.</p>
  <p><a href="https://developer.android.com/training/sign-in/biometric-auth?authuser=4#biometric-or-lock-screen" rel="nofollow noreferrer">This</a> is how its done in Native android in Java/Kotlin, but I haven't been able to find out how to do it natively using React Native.</p>
  <p>Anyone have clues or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it!</p>
