How to Securely Store Credentials with Capacitor
A common requirement for mobile apps is the secure storage of credentials such as passwords, tokens, or API keys, as well as user authentication via biometric features like fingerprints or facial recognition. Previously, this was straightforward to implement using the Identity Vault and Secure Storage solutions from the Ionic team, particularly in enterprise environments.

Therefore, we want to demonstrate how to achieve a similar solution using our brand-new Capacitor Biometrics and Capacitor Secure Preferences plugins.
