Can anyone help with this.
I have updated the rom on my mda vario, but subsequent to doing this I cannot disable the password. I go to Start > Settings > Lock and then once i have put the pin in can see the password settings, but they are greyed out and as a result i cannot disable the pin/password so my device keeps locking after a time of no use. Any help, please????

I had this program that i downloaded off this site a few days ago that allowed me to put a password on my phone. So that everytime i locked my phone, it would have me put in my password to unlock it. Does anyone know what app this is because i hard reset my phone and its not there anymore.
You can go to Settings / Security / Device Lock. It will ask your password everytime you lock your phone.
I set up the encryption with a lock screen password, so now Ihave to put in a password every time I unlock the screen.
I don't want a password anymore. So I go into the security options and it still acts as though the device doesn't have a password. All the options are grayed out except the one for setting up a password, the same as it did the first time I set up the password.
Is there a fix for this?
Remove encryption. If you have Xposed, there are a couple modules that work for it.
I didn't set it up at first set up, now I want to, but I don't see it in Security settings, can I still set it up?
Thanks
Settings > Security & Pin > Screen lock (enter pin if necessary) > Pin > Require pin to start device

You have a pattern protection on your device, and you set the pattern you have selected to ask you for pattern when you start your phone up, reboot to system and remove pattern lock and then you should be fine...
Next time when you set an pattern select no thanks option as shown in the screenshot.
Ditto
If there's a pattern, it usually means you've got a pattern lock. Use the same pattern and it'll be locked.
Just use the same pattern that you use if you startup you're Android device. When you have no pattern, go to settings > locksreen > then remove pattern if not done already > set new pattern > there will popup a messege asking is you want to use a start-up password (or something like that) > No thanks. Should work now.
It is a good idea to have some security on the recovery but the interface is dodgy. It normally takes 2-3 tries because the screen can't seem to keep the touch and drag registered nicely.
See if this helps. This will remove whatever password you have set on your device.
Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the OnePlus world.
So my question is: how can I disable the password that is required before android is launched on my OnePlus 3 ?
I've searched accross xda but I found nothing, sorry if this has already been answered.
In the beginning I found it very useful, but once I removed Google Keyboard, I was not able to enter that password.
I want to use a modded google keyboard (with number row), and on the xda thread, the dev ask to remove the defaut Google Keyboard.
Regards.
Go into Settings > Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and remove it (choose None).
Once the device is set to none, go back into Settings >Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and choose PIN. It will ask you here if you want secure boot (enter a PIN to start device) or not use it. Just choose the latter.
EDIT: If you have fingerprint set up, you will lose it during this process
Another option is to just switch between password, pin or pattern. You still get the option of not to set on boot, but this prevents the fingerprints to get deleted as they do when switching to swipe or none.
Thanks guys the problem is now solved, I've selected PIN with NONE as option for boot.
I can't do anything else because would like to remove the google keyboard.
To do so you will need to wipe your /data but its possible through twrp for excample. Simply after hard reset chose not to require password after boot
I'm confused as to why Google Keyboard is required for entering a password. Can't you just set your other keyboard to be the default?
