I was installing a new Rom and it asked about a pin..
So i set one..
Now twrp is asking for that pin..
And Rom does too.. But I enter the pin and it reboots..
How do I remove this feature?
Thanks :/

To disable pin at boot, go to the setting (settings > security > screen lock > pin) and set the pin code again. This will bring up a prompt to use the pin at boot, say no.
Deselecting pin at boot defeats the point of encrypting your phone since the files are accessible through TWRP with no added protection.
Sorry if this wasn't clear..
Power on phone, asks for pin..
Enter correct pin, reboots.
Repeat..
Had to backup everything and factory image the device to get a working unit again..

is very annoying that whenever I reboot my phone or enter TWRP my phone asks me for code, I just restore my phone, clean flash a new ROM, but still it is asking me for the code, is there a way to get rid of this?
Thanks

Are you using secured lockscreen like pin or password
If you are then you have to type that pin or password in there
I've searched but can't seem to find an answer to this problem. After booting into TWRP the first time and putting the password in and checking the box not to show page again it was booting into the selection page directly each time I booted to recovery thereafter. Now all of the sudden it is asking for password again every time, but now I don't get the check box to not show that page again. So it just keeps asking for a password every time. Has anyone found a way to fix this problem? Thanks for any help with this issue.
Your phone is encrypted

Yes...But when you enter the password the first time and check the box that says don't show again it is supposed to not ask for the password again. At least that is what I read somewhere when I was searching for why it asks for the password. When I found out why and entered my password the first time and checked the box afterwards it never asked again...Until I booted to recovery today. Now all of the sudden it asks every time, And after entering the password I no longer get the check box to bypass it. So it asks every time now.

you have to enter your password in twrp in order to get access to data as your phone encrypted. I have never seen such a checkbox to avoid it, sorry if am wrong. maybe you did upgrade your twrp?

I did upgrade TWRP a couple of days ago, But I was able to check the box in the older version also. Seems like it only shows once after entering the password the first time and if you don't check it I noticed it never shows again. I missed it the very first time and found out reading or in a video while looking for the reason it asks for a password. I then re-installed TWRP after going to a new ROM and the first time in entered the password and checked the box. Stopped asking for password for awhile until today.
Found a workaround on another thread...I went into security and clicked on screen lock like I was going to set it up or change it and chose pin again then told it not on start up only lock screen. Now I don't need to put in a password to enter recovery.
Just go to settings>security>screen lock> type PIN> choose PIN
then you will see Secure start-up ( Require PIN to start device/ No Thank you)...Profit!

TWRP doesn't have any password of its own:
https://twrp.me/faq/securetwrp.html
If the phone is encrypted - by the main rom - then TWRP will ask for the password so that it can access your data. However, from what I read, TWRP does not support the encryption of the current custom roms, so that is of limited use.
I tried installing a couple of custom ROMs in my Mi Max 2. When setting one of these ROMs, I set PIN lock to its screen.
After that, my TWRP is PIN locked as well. I must enter PIN to unlock my TWRP and to access it.
So the question is: How to unset TWRP lock? Is there in TWRP itself a command/option to unset TWRP lock?
(TWRP is official 3.2.3.0, ROM I using is EU Nougat.)

maybe u can try and flash twrp again, see if it resets and removes that PIN. also try other twrp versions to see if that helps.
you set encryption > then the lock is the pin to encryption and that has nothing to do with twrp .. it just trying to decrypt storage to work on it
try using that pin
if it didn't work you can always factory reset from twrp and it will recognize the storage.. provided that nothing valuable on the storage
also if you can boot to the system i had a pretty bizzare bug the can be useful for you
i installed reachability cursor app on xtended rom and force closing the app makes it lose the accessibility permission
after enabling it for the second time freezes the device and then if you force restart with power long press it stops asking for the code in twrp and while booting..
maybe specific to the rom but worth a shot if that's your case

I tried flashing same TWRP again as well as almost dozen of other TWRP versions for Oxygen. Nothing changed, I still must enter PIN password when entering TWRP and the same password when booting into system (from TWRP or from phone turned off).

I must enter same PIN password when booting into TWRP and when booting into system (from a) TWRP, or b) from phone turned off, or c) after resetting the phone when in system).
It is needless to say that phone screen is not locked in any way - by PIN/phrase password or by fingerprint. That leads me to conclusion that something should be (re)set/changed in TWRP itself.
Factory reset in TWRP didnot help. I will try to repeat the trick with xtended ROM and reachability cursor app.
you need perform format data

i wonder what will happen if you set a new pin in the current rom you running and made it ask for it at boot
then removed it?!

"...and made it ask for it at boot" - I already tried that. EU ROM has the option to PIN lock the screen, but it hasnot the option to ask a PIN at boot. So with EU ROM, at boot it will ask for same PIN as for the TWRP an after a boot it will ask for screen PIN as set in EU ROM.

I've got a OnePlus 3T that no longer has a pin or password of any kind on it but yet Everytime I reboot it asks me to put in my old pin to boot to Android. No matter what I try I'm unable to remove it. Anybody know how to remove it?

The only way I know to remove the password is to remove the encryption from the device which will completely wipe your phone.
You can do this with TWRP using the Format Data button (not the Advanced Wipe button) in the Wipe menu. Or you can use the stock recovery and tell it you've forgotten the password.

Hey guys I'm on Xiaomi EU Rom and TWRP keeps asking me for a password whenever I boot into it I've tried formatting the data it works but then when I need to boot into the recovery again i need to format it again
Don't know what's causing this
Try using the pin number that is used to unlock your phone.
When you want to update the Rom, disable fingerprint et PIN. After, boot to recovery and no need to enter password.

Thank you so much man this actually worked, it decrypted the data and let me update the phone

Yep, it works like designed. The moment you set a pin under android, the data gets encrypted and twrp will ask for that pin.
