# Errors
If "The keystore is not properly initialized." is displayed, the keystore on your device is not accessible to store or retrieve a secure biometric key.
The problem can happen if:
* Your device does not have a security system enables when it is unlocked after a sleep. (pin / pattern / etc ...)
* The keystore has corrupted keys. In this case, it may be necessary to delete the current keys from the application. (Settings -> Advanced Unlock -> Delete encryption keys) or delete the keystore file (/data/misc/keystore/user_0/)
* Your device does not have a security system turned on when it is unlocked after sleeping. (PIN / pattern / etc.)
* The keystore has corrupted keys. In this case, it may be necessary to delete the current keys from the app. (Settings → Advanced Unlock → Delete encryption keys) or delete the keystore file (/data/misc/keystore/user_0/)
* Your device completely blocks access to its keystore. In this case, there is nothing to do, simply disable biometric recognition.
