Hello,
I don't know if i'm being very stupid or not but I can't seem to change the password to unlock my phone. I know the password but would like to change it. If I goto 'Start -> Settings -> Lock' It locks the phone, rather then giving me any options to change the password.
Am I looking in the wrong place or is the application not working correctly?
Thank you.
You're in the right place, just quitting too soon.
Go to Start/Setting/Lock and then unlock your phone with your current PIN and it should take you on to the password screen where you can change your PIN type, PIN #, etc. Kinda makes sense if you think about it...the screen to change your PIN is PIN protected.
Ahhh, yes..obviously.
Thanks.

Uhm let me see if I got this right:
For example you set face unlock, when you try to unlock the phone, the phone asks you for face unlock instead of the default unlock?
If that's the case, then yes. It's supposed to work that way.

u now using x z and it happens to u?
yeah i set for example face-lock mode, then the default disabled! and then i cannot return to default mode cause disabled by credentials and
i should factory reset it.
that default lock mode is not important but i thought it might be a problem or mistake by me!
Got it!
it s about Credentials that disabled swipe mode (default)
I removed credentials and then swipe became enable.
as in if you "clear credentials" at the bottom of that menu the default swipe unlock will return? does face unlock remain too?

it s about the level of security (in my experience)
if u choose high level for example pattern then the low level security will disable.
after i cleared all credentials all kind of lock screen return but for example my vpn connections losts
after that when i set pattern again and create vpn connections now i don have swipe again.
it seems logical rather than a bug.
I have had my S8 Plus set with no lock screen & I like it that way. Goofing around with the settings, I accidentally re-enabled the swipe to unlock & now it won't let me set it back to none instead of swipe.
WTF am I missing here??

Works fine for me.
Settings --> Lock screen and security --> Phone Security -->Screen Lock Type --> None.
VZW S8+.
Never mind, whatever was wrong fixed itself & now it's working fine again.

Can't Disable Password Lock Screen on S8+
I cannot disable the screen lock!
I believe it is a result of that fact that I just enabled the Find My Device feature via google.com/android/device manager. I set up a password there. Then my phone locked, and I had to enter the pw to unlock it. Now, I always have to enter that pw to unlock the phone. I tried to turn off the password lock in the phone settings. Under Screen Lock Type, it says password. I am required to type in the pw, to turn it off. It temporarily changed to "Swipe", No Security. But then as soon as a navigate away from this screen on my phone, it goes back to "Screen Lock Type" - Password. I can't disable the screen lock! It's driving me nuts. So, I turned off the Find My Device feature. I also went into Phone Administrators and removed the radio button next to Find My Device. That didn't do it. I restarted the phone. I disabled google smartlock (I don't know if that is relevant). That didnt' work either. I read something about selecting Clear Credentials, but that option is grayed-out on my phone.
Please Help!!!
Hi all,
This issue has been bugging me for a while now. I am not new to android OS. But recently the company I work for has introduced a secure mobile policy that means if i have to access corporate email and calendar I have to encrypt the device and setup password for boot, and use 8 digit password instead of pin or face or iris or fingerprint recognition. The 8 digit password is a must.
The most annoying part is that after I enter the password, the device does not take me to the home page, but instead it takes me to the page where I have to swipe to go to homepage.
This is annyoing as hell. I have tried various things but it it didnt work.. like going into..
Lock Screen and Security > Screen Lock Type > None
And then choose Password. After this I get the Notifications (says, Select display option for notification on the click lock screen) page which i have turned off .
Inspite of that if i unlock the phone with the password the additional step of going to the screen where i have to swipe to log in automatically shows up.
Please guide.
Switch off smart lock.

Received the update 9, no issues noted after, then thought I would change my theme, and since then, nicluding after a reset of all settings, I can enrol my face, add fingerprint, set pattern and pin code, but when I push the power button to lock the phone, a simple swipe up unlocks it. I have done this while holding the phone away so the camera cant see my face (just in case its just speedy)
One thing that has me a little confused in 9 is the option where you select the lock option, I go to security & Privacy, lock screen password, and change lock screen password, then input my pattern and select change unlock method, and I have only 4 options, 4 pin, custom pin, pattern and password, no finger print or face recognition listed, and so I select pattern , input it twice, click done, then am prompted to associate fingerprint, which I say yes to.
Now, I lock the phone, press power to unlock, and have the option of the swipe up to unlock (no security period) the fingerprint does nothing other than unlock the phone without the need to press the button or swipe, but is easily bypassed by just ignoring it.
I cannot walk around with a phone that simply has zero security on so can anyone advise on things to try.
I have backed up the entire phone and would rather avoid a full reset if possible
Try changing theme download a 3d free one, when I did that it downloaded some engine, then my lock screen worked.
Seems the update doesn't change the theme, but prompts you to switch, if you don't it doesn't work.

thanks, but still nothing. I can find no way to make this damn thing lock
Go to Security & Privacy -> Lock screen password -> Smart Lock.
Check if you have any options enabled, it can be unlocked by location, bluetooth or even by motion.
silly question but I cant seem to find pattern unlock for lock screen option on x90pp? is it available? just wondering.
if so, where and how to set it? its a backup for fingerprint if i have wet hand or want someone to unlock etc..tight now i only see a passcode etc.
Press 'other password type' and choose 'pattern'
