Hi all,
When i have set up exchange emails i got prompted to enter an unlock password ( which pops up everytime i try to unlock the phone as well as the swipe to unlock)
is there any way to disable the password unlock and just keep the swipe to unlock? its quite frustrating having to hit the power button, slide to unlock then enter a password on top of it all..
lol how did u do it? i want to set up a password for the phone but duno how lol
it came up when i entered exchange settings for work emails - it said the domain or something of the sort needs a secure password for this mailbox..
try lockpicker, you can find it in the market. you have too enter a password because your company exchange server enforces it as a policy btw.

Thank you very much!! worked a treat!
Thx also from my side! Lockpicker, in addition, has brought back the lost-find details (my name address, etc.) which I have generated by using "Antivirus" (free) from the Market. They were not shown any more after the installation of Exchange. My phone is secured in addition by HTC's screenlock - that's sufficient protection, I think, and much easier than to enter a password.
cool info about LOCKPICKER, will have to try it out... did try TOUCHDOWN instead but did really like look&feel of it.
Just hope HTC exchange can handle multifolders outside of Inbox and even better can just show all UNREAD emails rather than having to flip between all the folders 1by1.
My company's Outlook server requires an unlock password for my phone - is there any way to block that or to trick Outlook into thinking I am using an unlock password?
go to market- download lockpicker (free) and enable it
Or just ask your IT dept. for an exception.
Lockpicker worked like a charm! Thanks!
austontatious, can u pls post where u downloaded it from
I really like No Lock for this function. Not only does it bypass the exchange requirement from my company, but keys the screen from locking every time the screen is turned off.

Don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness.
GET LOCKPICKER for free!!
Thanks i needed this!
Lockpicker FTW!
Hi,
i have Exchange setup & working. I get a notification each time I reboot the phone it says update security settings. If I click on it, it goes away & doeesnt bring any other information together.
Any ideas on what it wants? Its not terribly annoying but its strange.
Thanks,
Rich
I don't have an answer, but I do have a question??? Do you still need to enter a password every time you "un-lock" the phone??? I am currently running 2.1 but use LockPicker to get around this.
Hi,
I dont have to enter any codes into my phone. I have exchange set up twice on my phone.
The first time I set it up with the default app so my contacts will be populated & then I set it not to check my exchange again.
Then I use Touchdown for my exchange needs. It works great & I would assume it would bypass that issue. I like Touchdown better as it downloads subfolders (once selected) by default, so the email is always in sync.
Thx...I have Touchdown and will try that once 2.2 goes OTA.

That's caused by a setting on your Exchange server from what I've heard. Basically its an enterprise level security feature. Without hacking it, like you have been doing, its not going to change in the software update. If anything, Google will make it harder to get around it, since they are trying to get enterprises to adopt Android, so they need to keep these kinds of settings around.
Lockpicker does not work with 2.2, you will have to enter a code but you can adjust the time for that code entry to up to 15 minutes, if you use Touchdown you will have to enter the code everytime you go into the touchdown app. its not to bad entering the code every 15 minutes, the screen for the code entry is huge with a big dialer, not so much of a pain as entering the code before.
Hi,
I am using exchange 2007 & Touchdown. I dont have to ever put a code in. Is this due to my exchange being a hosted exchange service vs a work corp email?
Thanks,
Rich

it's a setting on the Exchange server. it just depends if the Exchange nerd was told to implement it or not.
I found this while searching to find a fix. I think that I figured it out though.
This is referring to the security settings for your phone and I believe that the Exchange server is set to require a password be entered on the phone to satisfy it's security requirements.
I turned on the pattern lock on my phone and haven't received the message again... Yet.
There's also an issue that I know of with Exchange Server 2010
If this setting has been enabled by the sysadmin;
Via EMC:
Microsoft Exchange
- Microsoft Exchange On-Premises
- Organization Configuration
- Client Access
- Exchange ActiveSync Mailbox Policies
Under Default policy, Device Password Required - Yes
Then your Exchange client on Froyo will bounce around asking you to press it's buttons every boot, and sometimes every time your network status changes!
EVEN IF this setting is reverted, there appears to be a bug where the security settings are still passed to the client device.
I've tested this myself and Ninpo [[email protected]] can verify.
Does anyone know of a good app or hack to use with lollipop to bypass needing a pin or password to setup your exchange email account?
Xposed.
Hi guys,
I have a client who's phone keeps asking for a Fingerprint/face unlock as regular to unlock the phone from a black screen (that is normal ok), and then when he opens Outlook it does the same again.
Does anyone know what this is? His old phone (S8) didn't have this issue.
He's using company email, MAM.
Either there's an option in settings for fingerprint login or some exchange permission forced on that email account if its work related.
