Self-signed code signing certificates would seem to be a good compromise (like e.g. Android does it).

Even a hash over the executable (+loaded DLLs) would work in a pinch. Breaks app binary updates, but for a “stay logged in and unlock via biometrics“ feature (as opposed to “store this credential forever”), that might be acceptable.
