I just updated to 4.4.2. In 4.3 I was able to bypass the phone needing a pin or pattern if you have a VPN setup. In 4.4.2 they got a little smarter. I just don't want to have to put in a pin or pattern everytime I open up my phone. Does anyone know how to get rid of this. I tried using sqllite and changing the lockscreen.password_type record but it prompts me for credential storage after a reboot.

My corporate WiFi uses a personal certificate for 802.1x authentication.
It works if the setting "Location and security > Use secure credentials" is checked.
The problem is, after rebooting, that option is always unchecked. When I re-enable it, it prompts for the security store password and all is good.
So, is there anyway to make the "Use secure credentials" setting permanent even after a reboot?

I’m experiencing the same problem. Have you found a resolution?
I also have this problem, only on a Desire. Is there a solution yet?
Howdy!
I know I am late to the party.
I also have this problem.
Using an HTC Sensation, with cyanogenmod 7.1 alpha10, if that matters.
Where in the filesystem should these kind of options be stored?

Apologies if I misunderstood you, but, are you asking for access to secure store without the password?
Simply, alternative (not predicted by Samsung I presume) is that each boot you'd be asked for a password... and this is not a bug, that when your phone will be stolen, someone directly after reboot will have access to your company's WiFi, I think.
same problem
pre-rooted shipped stock ROM.
everytime rebooted, the "use secure credentials" unchecked automatically.
And i must check it again so i can use the power button to poweroff the phone.

I'm having this headache too, and for the reasons spamtrash listed above - you don't want it to automatically use the secure credentials.
What would be nice though (and what I could use a hand trying to figure out): Is getting the phone to prompt you for the secure login on boot, or prompt you for the login the first time it attempts to connect to the secure network. I turn my WiFi on from a homescreen widget - so I'm not in the WiFi screens to see the credential login box.
same problem here, using ICS (CM9) and CM7 latest nightly build.
I have a VPN that I want to set on my phone, also some CERT's to some websites that I want to install on my phone.. Right now they are on it, but for some reason it disables the fingerprint scanner, and requires me to set a PIN or a password. It says that fingerprint is turned off by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage.
my phone is rooted, is there a way to change this requirement? I would really like to use the finger print scanner.
thank you
So, this sounds simple; but I guarantee you it is not.
I just got my Note5 about 2 weeks ago; and despite some missing key features, I really like it. Until today.
Carrier: Sprint (who apparently doesn't have 24/7 customer service)
My fingers were a little dirty (which they have been before) and my scanner wouldn't unlock the phone. Cleaned them and now it's already locked and seems to not really check the prints anymore?
First attempted fix: backup password, I know I set it up...but it doesn't work. None of the passwords I might use will work.
Second attempted fix: Google signin, I have a free google apps account and apparently using my whole email address as username doesn't work on this; also tried just using the plain username just in case. I know the password is correct. I'm the domain administrator.
Third attempted fix: Android device manager, tried setting a new password on the lock screen and was greeted by the infuriating message "Since google has verified that your screen is already locked, the password you set won't be needed"
Fourth attempted fix: chat with samsung support, which was utterly useless. Although I did find out that samsung has their own unlock utility...except that it has to be setup beforehand.
Fifth attempted fix: bang head on cement...hasn't shown any signs of working yet. Although I feel less frustrated.......and less conscious.
Theories: free version of Google Apps, sucks (the apps themselves are great)...I've had tons of trouble getting signed into certain google features over the years. Also I have no option for a support PIN to use to contact google support.
I think that my latest OTA update may have somehow changed or reset my backup password.
The last theory is whomever changed Android device manager to not reset lockscreen passwords whenever you want to...basically made that tool half as useful as it should be and completely useless to me.
Anyone have any other ideas, that don't involve a full wipe?
I was finally able to gain access to my phone. I had to disable two-step verification in order to sign into my google apps account from the lock screen.
I am having the same issues and tried ALL of the fixes you tried except I didn't get the notification to login with google. When does that happen?
I had the problem, too. I ended up having to factory reset. REALLY irritated by this.
Hey everyone,
i have a rooted nexus 6 on the latest Google Fi firmware (LVY48F) 5.1.1. I've never been partial to lock screen patters or pins or anything else for that matter, swiping works for me just fine.
After scouring the interwebz, i have yet to find a solution to the following:
How can i disable the lock screen& still use Android Pay?
If the first option isn't possible yet - how can i remove android pay AND return to just swipe lock screen?
I don't really want to use xposed unfortunately. Are there any build.prop tweaks i'm unaware of?
I've tried disabling android pay and even clearing data on the app to see if the lock screen option allows me to revert back to just swiping but it stays grayed out.
Thanks in advance!
I too am in the same situation. I fear that a factory reset may be the solution, but I am looking to see if there is another method. I don't want the hassle of setting up my device again.
I'd like to know this too. Although I'm willing to use xposed.
On my phone (N6) I can just go into Settings > Security > Screen Lock and set it to swipe, android pay pops up saying it'll delete my credit cards from the phone.
That's fine for removing android pay, but that doesn't help in gaining access to it while still disabling the lock screen.
Far as I know there is no way to accomplish this. I was answering #2.
Installed Oreo on my N950N this morning, and just now I found out that if I want to use biometrics in some apps (homebanking app, fast log in in many sites, using iris/fingerprint for entering secret mode on Samsung Internet) I'm forced to set up a screen lock security (pattern/pin or password) if I just put the simple swipe, I won't be able to use biometrics anymore? Why? What's the point of this forcing?

Any work arounds? I'm having issues resolving this one myself
I think its a security update on Oreo, so since it "might" be embedded on the code it might not be possible to do a work around without root or any major components changed, don't quote me on it this is just my opnion
