Mobile app on IOS goes haywire after forced reauthentication

This issue cropped up a couple of months ago under IOS 14.x and still occurs under IOS 15. 

 

When the mobile app forces a reauthentication of my login credentials and after I reenable TouchID the splash screen showing my FICO 8 scores comes up but goes into a loop where the screen repeatedly refreshes about once per second and I cannot break out of it within the app.   If I force-close it via the hold-button-swipe-up procedure or reboot my iPhone and then restart the app it will work normally until the next time I'm directed to reauthenticate. 

 

It's not a dealbreaker but it is a recurring nuisance and I'm noting in case this is a known issue and/or I need to modify a setting or settings to address it.

Re: Mobile app on IOS goes haywire after forced reauthentication

I'm quite late in responding to this, but I have also been experiencing this issue for a while and it happened again a few days ago on the most recent version 3.0.5 (1) of the app and iOS 15.1.1  It happens every single time I have authenticate again and enable Face ID (@coldfusion mentioned Touch ID, so it's definitely common to biometrics) and the only way to get it to stop is a forced close.

Re: Mobile app on IOS goes haywire after forced reauthentication

I have this same issue on iOS. 

I find it odd that I have to frequently re-set up the PIN and reallow Face ID. It defeats the purpose of enabling those features (conveniently and securely authenticate without the need to enter a password) if I have to log in with password, turn on Face ID, and choose a PIN again and again. I should only have to do this once on the same device like every other app that has this feature.
