I can't seem to disable the lock screen or try another type of security. Does anybody know what's going on?
in security settings go down then
certificates management
then
clear credentials

Tried this twice and even rebooted. Did not fix it.
Have you ever try to replace the recovery??
Because I have same problem and now I cannot disable my lockscreen security either and I can't do factory reset because current recovery is not stock version but I cannot reach the recovery mode.
Do u have anything in security.trusted agent?
Only Smart Lock (Google) and turning that off doesn't change anything.
Are you on the latest Nova launcher?
VPN
If you have a VPN configured then you cant choose a lockscreen without security. Try deleting all your VPN's
I have no VPNs configured

I'm using liquidsmooth rom and there's a bug when setting up the lockscreen security settings. I'm not locked out of the phone, but I want to disable the PIN security and just have it as swipe. When I click lockscreen settings I get the error "Unfortunately Settings has stopped working" then settings closed.
I installed holo locker, but it still wants to use a pin number. is there a file I can manually edit to disable the PIN lockscreen and set it back to swipe?
Luquidsmooth rom JB 4.2.2, Galaxy S3
I would just reflash the ROM. Don't bother wiping anything, should fix it.
Galaxy Tab S T-700 Lost unlock options
I have what seems to be a new one....The fingerprint scanner no longer boots at startup, The Alternative Password claims that I don't know it and I can't find the option to sign in with Google. Any suggestions????
I hadn't altered the software, Everything is still stock. I have VERY limited function thru a guest profile which will not allow any new apps nor access to most of the apps installed under my profile.
How about some kind of remote access?? Bypass the lock screen? I do have the right fingerprint, and the Alt PW ( I think, 90% sure). I have Team Viewer on everything else. Debugging is enabled. I have a good Google account. I also use Last Pass......
I'm another desperate noob. Please help.:crying:....
Try vol +home+power with the tablet off. Reboot into recovery, wipe data,cache and reboot. Second one odin 3.09 plus stock firmware from sammobile.com, boot in download mode and flash the firmware. Metod one will make you lose all your data, method 2 maybe will save your pesonal files (pictures, etc). 3rd method...samsung repair...you need proof of purchase , box and all the accesories. Good luck
Did you set up FIND MY MOBILE in Security settings. If so you can use it to unlock the lock screen with a code.

Search on youtube on how to bypass lockscreen before you factory reset.
Much Thanks!
In that I was "just playing" until I had the intestinal fortitude to root I went ahead with the factory reset.
Have any of you seen the loss of a sign in method before? Factory reset fixed it.... I wish I knew what caused it...
Threads again!
Signed,
Not so very desperate noob....
I factory wiped my phone under Marshmallow, and then updated it to Nougat with the OTA update, but when I boot up, I discovered that I am only proposed to add fingerprints to the phone. I am not offered to add a password for encryption. In the settings menu, adding a password does not appear anywhere. And it says the phone is already encrypted.
I don't understand what is going on. How can I encrypt the phone using a password?

You don't see an option above fingerprint under security in settings (swipe)? Click it.
I upgraded my Note 10+ to Android 10 Pie, through beta updates and then final. I noticed that during last days it asks me to enter PIN code for security reasons after restarting the phone (I don't know if it was the exact text, I got the message in italian language). I haven't any reboot scheduled in Device Care app, nor I never saw the moment when the device reboots, I only get this message.
What can I do?
Is there any way to see if Note really restarts and why?
I'm trying to avoid to make a factory reset and reinstall all from scratch.
Sounds like your phone is repeatedly crashing. You could try clearing the system cache. If that doesn't solve the problem, I don't know of any recourse other than factory reset.
That's the PIN settings.
(change the security settings of the phone, remove the pin, and add the pin one more time, but this time, don't click on "ask for pin when restarting the device)
you didn't note why the phone was restarting, or if it was you that was restarting it
or your account had been hacked and they remote locked your phone, try logging in to website version of Googles my device, and remote unlock it.

Just use your last numeric pin you used to log in. This happens I believe when you don't remove the Google accounts from the device before factory resetting or flashing new roms.

No, I'm not restarting it, seems like it restarts by itself but I never saw it while it's restarting, I only notice that it asks for the PIN to unlock and shows that message.
I'm trying to find a tool to get informations about restarts and causes of it, in the meanwhile I enabled the option to restart the phone into the device care app, I configured it and then disabled again, now are 3 days and for now it doesn't ask for the PIN anymore.

I don't think so, I enabled double authentication and got no messages about account violation.
I am having the same problem
I'm having the same problem
Same for me, since beta 2 or so. But i didn't care much tbh.
Before setup your password, system ask you "do boot need a password" . You want to change, must disabled password in lock screen. Than re-entry a password and answer question is "no".
Hello,
I use the password management capabilities of chrome & brave with synchronisation and auto-fill.
In order to have access to passwords a screen lock has to be set. So I have setup one with a pin.
And on all my other Android devices this works without issues but on my mi pad 5 not.
If I access the password settings in Chrome or Brave and edit a password and try to copy it the browser freezes and i'm directly set back to the lock screen.
Auto-Fill works most of the time but if I have for the same page several logins and I try to access e.g. the second one I'm also set back to the lock screen.
Has anyone else this issues and knows a way how to fix that?
ROM is MIUI 12.5.5 Global Stable
Thanks!
Same. I think it's just the pin, cause the other unlock method works without problems
