Implementation

Future<bool> authenticate({
  String reason = 'Please authenticate to continue',
  bool useErrorDialogs = true,
  bool stickyAuth = true,
}) async {
  if (kIsWeb) {
    return false;
  }

  try {
    final localAuth = await _getLocalAuth();
    if (localAuth == null) return false;

    return await localAuth.authenticate(
      localizedReason: reason,
      options: AuthenticationOptions(
        useErrorDialogs: useErrorDialogs,
        stickyAuth: stickyAuth,
        biometricOnly: false,
      ),
    );
  } catch (e) {
    debugPrint('BiometricService: Error during authentication: $e');
    return false;
  }
