Cannot Open Boxcryptor

Azul01

I have never had this happen before. I used the Boxcryptor app about 11 hours ago yesterday, and this did not happen.

I have a Samsung Galaxy J3.

When I clicked to open the Boxcryptor app an hour ago I got a message saying

"Device Security Required.
Device security is not set up. In the security settings of your device, activate at least the pattern unlock or PIN / password protection to unlock Boxcryptor."

I already had a password set up to open Boxcryptor. I never saw a screen before telling me I had to have one, I choose to have one.

Anyway, I went to my phone settings to enter a password when I start up my phone.

I restarted my phone and entered the password to open my phone. It worked, my phone opened after I typed it. Then I clicked on the Boxcryptor app. They asked me for the password. I entered the password that I set to open my phone (it's the same password I used to open Boxcryptor before I had this weird issue.) Then it takes me to the

"Device Security Required.
Device security is not set up. In the security settings of your device, activate at least the pattern unlock or PIN / password protection to unlock Boxcryptor."

screen and the screen freezes.

I don't know why this is happening.

So the software updated and now it opens when I type the code.

Is there anyway to go back to the old password system because I don't find the current pattern thing as protective and when I try to login to phone by typing something there is a lag in the keyboard coming up and I get afraid the phone keyboard eventually won't come up and I won't be able to get in my phone.

The old system worked great, I don't understand why this change is necessary.
