Are there any password managers that work with Secure Start turned on? I've reached the point where be it due to age or to the number of passwords I've accrued that I'm having trouble keeping up with all of them. Was using KeePass on my Galaxy S5, but my note 8 says it's not compatible with Secure Start (Password on power up). That function is a necessity.
Would also like to increase the number of dots for pattern lock as well.

Gulp, here goes.
Welcome all,
Lock Extender is a plug-in for Automation apps such as Tasker, Locale and Llama (and possibly others that use the Locale standard plugin method) that allows you to change the delay between your devices screen turning off, and the security lock being set.
For example, if you set this with a profile that activates when you are home, it will effectively keep your phone unlocked (not keep the screen on ) whilst you are there. You will have to add an exit task that re-sets a shorter time out for when the profile ends or the lock will stay off.
There are two small caveats that I am working on (app is still in early stages, as I imagine most of these kind of things are )
You will have to unlock the device once the profile is active to actually remove the lock.
If you turn the screen off with the power button, it will apply the lock again.
There are two versions of the app in Google Play (or at least there will be soon). They are both identical in function; the free one will flash a toast every 8 uses (every 8th time Lock Extender runs a task to change the time out, you get a toast), and the paid one doesn't do this.
**** ROOT Required ****
Root/SU permission is required when you 'install' the application. To be more specific, the app needs to copy a little helper file to your devices /system/app folder and then you need to reboot. This (and removing the helper) is the only time that Lock Extender will ask for root access. If you are concerned then when it asks for root, don't save the choice and it wont be able to get root without you knowing.
Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] for help if you need it, and please contact me before leaving a bad rating!
If you have any suggestions on how I can improve the app (I know the UI is a bit sucky) then please drop me a mail. I have tested this on a Galaxy Note II and a Galaxy S3 with Tasker. Please let me know if your device has issues and I will see if I can help.
Tablet UI is coming soon.
This app uses ActionBarSherlock and would look turd without it.
[edit] The latest version of the Free app is in the Play store using the top link, the paid one is still being distributed throughout the store.
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
Hi,
I setup my Samsung Account and it says under services that I have Find My Mobile.
I go to the find my mobile website and login and it has my 2 other Galaxy Tab Tablets listed but not my phone.
I look at setup tutorials and the say goto lock screen and security but my settings has a "Lockscreen" and a "Biometrics and Security" sub menu.
Under the Biometrics and Security there is a Find My Device which is set to on and when I tap that I get a page that has the slider for on and below it it says ways to locate device:
options are:
Find my Device
get it on google play
Web
Visit android.com/finf
Google Search "find my Device"
What is going on?
I am a little freaked out.
As I understand it if you use lock like pattern lock that through Samsung's Find My Mobile site you can reset the login if you run into trouble. I almost did run into trouble right after I finish setting the Note 9 up after 3 hours, I restarted it when I put in my Memory Card and my pattern was not working. Got to where I had 3 tries left. I turned it off reset the sim card and the memory card in the holder and it worked. There have been other times where it did not recognize the pattern once or twice but did finally. Not sure if with the curved screen my hand was touching the screen and that caused a problem or what but. I need the phone locked and I need Samsung's Find My Mobile with it's unlocking feature for piece of mind.
One article on seting it up a comment said they were told it was not available on the Verizon version. True not true?
What am I doing wrong to set it up.
I had lookout installed but removed that.
I also have Teamviewer Host and the Samsung Host Plugin for Teamviewer installed is that interfering?
I need a fallnback way to unlock if the initial one fails.
Thank You.

How do you get around it if you bought a refurbished android moto XT1650-02 on FB and they didn't do what they should have done here in this post?

Have a look at my posts on this subject.
Currently I'm looking into whether I can side load some code via a FAT32 formatted SD card, and if possible, I need to locate where the flag is stored which sets this FRP. Now this could be stored on a rom chip of sorts and at this stage I dont want to break open the device to desolder chips, so this blog could be useful at giving clues into what needs to be looked at. Although the device is a Blink Mini camera, the technique can be applied on other devices, like smart phones.

Ideally, I'd have a working device, dump the rom contents, then trigger the FRP and then dump the roms again to compare whats been changed, which would hilight areas for further investigation and maybe even the bit flag in question.
The other area of interest currently is Wireshark with the USB packet sniffer. Lenovo's/Motorola's Rescue and Smart Assist program aka LRMA can interrogate the device via a USB cable and detect the firmware. LRMA also suggests enabling the Developer mode/USB debugging which is enabled by clicking the build number seven times in the Google Android settings. So the question is can LRMA detect the FRP has been set? If it can, Ghidra https://ghidra-sre.org/ can be used to detect the FRP bit flag. I say bit Flag, it could be multiple bit flags in a variety of locations. Never under estimate your enemy.
I've used the Emergency Contact select a photo trick, to gain access to all apps, where I've gone straight for the Settings and Build number, tapped it 7 times as per LRMA's instructions but its not unhidden the developer mode and USB debugging options. This could be disabled once FRP is triggered, but its why I say it could be more than one bit flag which is set. Like you see with UEFI bios on some pc motherboards, there could actually be a two or more locations which could be used.
Like I said earlier, having a working device, dumping roms and then triggering FRP would be ideal, but when you dont have any money, it forces you to use your brain as you can't just step out and buy a new device mirrored in every way.
At this stage I dont know if this FRP flag can be undone. It might be like these RaspberryPi One Time Programmable switches as seen here, but I have been able to toggle some of those as well! https://github.com/raspberrypi/docu...asciidoc/computers/raspberry-pi/otp-bits.adoc
I've so far been unsuccessful in finding out if there is an equivalent of vcgencmd otp_dump for Android phones as this could be another way I might be able to find the FRP flag without having to dump the roms.
This is all new to me so I might be looking in the wrong area's as I'm just an unqualified out of work for decades boring old penniless windows programmer so I'm learning as I go along. But you might find what I've put is useful if you fancy a Thanksgiving, Xmas & New Year challenge for a change.
Motorola launches new Moto Secure App to give consumers more peace of mind
We know data privacy matters to our consumers. That’s why we have ThinkShield, an ex
motorolanews.com
Hopefully this new app will rollout to all 2022 Moto devices as well.
1. Add an extra layer of protection to sensitive information and apps by hiding select apps and files in Secure Folder, protected by a specific PIN. With Secure Folder, you also have the option to enable Disguised Mode allowing you to select from four icons and name options, rather than visibly displaying apps within a folder, for even more privacy. This is especially helpful for disguising more sensitive information like financial apps, digital wallets, shopping apps, or email accounts behind a discrete icon and label.
2. Whether you’re on the go or working from a public location, minimize risks when connecting to public Wi-Fi and cellular networks with the Network Protection feature. By enabling Network Protection you will automatically be notified when a hotspot or Wi-Fi-related security issue is detected. Within network protection, you can also stop specific apps from using open connections and prevent spoofing by blocking 2G connections.
3. Lock Screen Security allows you to see and control all of your lock screen options to configure the protection you need. This includes the ability to lock network and security functions. For example, previously, a thief could simply turn off your mobile network or Wi-Fi, preventing you from locating your lost device. Now, by enabling this feature, you can stay in control and eliminate the ability for someone to turn off your mobile network or Wi-Fi on your device without unlocking the phone.
4. PIN Pad Scramble shuffles the numerical layout of your entry screen, so you can unlock your device without the risk of prying eyes memorizing the pattern of the numbers you press.
5. The Privacy Dashboard gives you a clear and comprehensive view of which apps have accessed your calendar, contacts, files, camera, microphone and location during the past 24 hours. If you see anything that you’re not comfortable with, you can manage app permissions, update security settings, and change privacy controls right from the Moto Secure App.

Privacy dashboard is going to be the best feature of the new secure app.
I would like the apk of this app, could anyone provide a link?
Could someone put this APK here for us to test on Android 12?
Haven't seen it around, i'd like from official source.
