Secure Storage: Device is not secure

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I’m trying to use the Secure Storage plugin like shown in the docs. After putting the following lines in app.component.ts in the platform.ready().then…-block

this.secureStorage.create('my_store_name')
  .then((storage: SecureStorageObject) => {
    console.log('secureStorage created!');
    console.log(storage);
  })

I’m getting the following error by testing on a Samsung Note 4:

Thanks, that was the problem. I haven’t read about this requirement.
