Hi all
İs there a way to turn off all fingerprint and 4 digits pin code for unlocking screen?
İ remove fingerprint but the pin code stays still. İ need to just swipe to unlock.
Thnx
I was able to revert to no code/password check for the lock screen...
Removed also the PIN?
Nope.No any selection for no pin. Only fingerprint in menu.
Deactivating fingerprint also didint remove pin lock.
What must i do?
Delete all your fingerprints.
This is the menu.Png.
The top selection is no password/pin selection. But it is blocked.
Why can it be blocked default by it self?
You must previously delete all your stored fingerprints.
Did that already mate

Have you enabled any VPN connection?
How could i do it? I dont know if.i did?
If you don't know how to do I think that you didn't activate the credential storage and any VPN.... So this is not the cause.
Check also among the device administrators if there is something unexpected.
İ ve checked everything but nothing found.So boring.İ ve got.the doze app and i uninstalled it also.
As described in the settings, lockscreen PIN check is under control of device administrators, credentials storage and cryptography...
Were you ever able to lock/unlock screen without PIN or password?
Untill selecting the fingerprint screen lockin i could.Or i have never tried i dont remember excatly. I think when i bought the phone i just put the fingerprint first.
Where can i check the device administrators menu? And where/what is cryptography?
Under Advanced settings/Security.
No way..Starting to get upset and angry with this phone. It will be very funny if i have to reset the phone for this problem!
Any solutions? I also have the same problem...
Solution to mate 8 password removal
Step 1 go to settings
Step 2 Go to Advanced settings
Step 3 Click on Security
Step 4 Scroll right to the bottom
Step 5 Click on Screen Lock
Step 6 Type in your password.
you will now see that when you lock your phone with the power button and unlock it with the power button, the lock screen has been completely removed.
you want the lock screen back with no password see below
Step 1 go to settings
Step 2 Go to Advanced settings
Step 3 Click on Security
Step 4 Scroll right to the bottom
Step 5 Click on Screen Lock
Step 6 you will see the screen lock will turn on.
Thats it, exit settings and test, you can now lock the phone and unlock the phone then swipe to on the screen to unlock it to your apps.
I did this and it worked for me because i had the same issue.

I have the s6 non edge and have setup fingerprint unlock and my Wi-Fi at home and my pebble are setup as trusted devices. But every time I want to unlock the phone, I first have to wipe up at the loch screen and then I have to unlock via fingerprint. Is it possible to setup the phone so I don't have to wipe up first?
Thanks
You mean when you have the fingerprint setup as a login option you have to swipe up first?
When I setup fingerprint as an unlock setting all I had to do what unlock the phone and put my finger on the sensor, I dont have to wipe up or anything.

So here is the gist. When using fingerprint and trusted devices, when the lockscreen comes up, dont swipe the lock symbol. Swipe anywhere else on the screen and no fingerprint needed.

Thank you very much for this info! - I was so used to swipe my finger for unlocking that I overlooked the Lock Icon at the bottom of the screen.
If you want to lock your Device again just swipe the Lock Icon that appears while your phone is unlocked via the Trusted Device.
Note: This is also working on S5 an S5+ Devices!
Thank you!'! This has been driving me crazy on my S6 edge +. How unintuitive, but you are right. ???

I am running a stock un-rooted note 5 . my issue is that I have to Swipe up on the lock Screen and use the fingerprint to unlock but I only want to use the fingerprint . Any idea HOW to do this?
Please search next time. You have smart lock activated. If you have a lock icon on you lock screen, your phone is not secure. Just swipe anywhere but from that icon and your phone unlocks. If you swipe from the lock icon, then you are securing it for the next time you turn the screen on. To change the smart lock setting, go to settings > lock screen and security>secure lock settings> smart lock.
The thing is I already searched and could not find anything on this. Also smart lock is not turned on. If I wipe it's either use finger print or pin if it can't read my print after a few tries. My phone will not unlock from just a swipe it has to be a pin or password. I don't want to swipe at all but just use a finger print.
I figured it out the thread can be closed.

I'm having this same issue. What was the solution?
I have the NXT-29C900B156 Mate 8 US, does anyone knows how to disable the lock screen that shows up when you press the power button?
Thanks, I have look allover xda without finding any info.

Hello from France,
Same question for me!
I have a Mate 8, and I chose "password:none" in "settings/screen lock & passwords". But when I use the powerbutton to turn the screen OFF and ON, it still ask me to slide. Is it possible to remove this useless page?
Go to settings menu -> Advanced Settings -> Security -> 'Power button instantly locks'... (should be at the bottom of the page)
I have unchecked this option, so that when i press the power button it just switches screen off and does not lock.
I have additionally set the option next to it "Automatically lock", to 5 Minutes.. (So that i am presented with password lock screen after some time of inactivity, the time before that the power button will just switch on/off screen)
Note that these options are only available if you have set either a password, PIN, etc.
thank you !!!

How can I remove password from a Huawei mate 8
So I thought Id try this as I would also love to just press the power button and the main screen pops up (no lock screen) so I added a pin and unchecked Power button instantly locks, but this only means that it wont lock from the power button it will lock from between 1 min to 30 min after sleep.
The problem is that now when I try to put the password back to none its grayed out and faint writing saying "Disabled by administrator, encryption policy or credential storage" ive added and taken out the pin a few times in the past whilst using (or not) the fingerprint scanner, so why now can I not undo it ?
im on NXT-DL00 17B368
EMUI 4.1
Hope someone can help me
During the "Factory reset" process I don't "ok" the "password" or "finger print" options.
I never have the "lock screen" show up

I bought a Mediapad T3 with the same useless page. Enable Developer Options, under that there's an option "Screen Lock". Disable that, and then the display won't be locked with the requirement to swipe to unlock (which is useless, except for notifications).
Hello!
How/where did you enabled the "Developer Options" in Android 7.0/EMUI 5.1?
Thank you in advance!

If you asking about where "screen lock" under developer option in android 7 So there is no screen lock under developer options maybe in android 6!
How to disable lock screen
You can disable lock screen with apps like No Lock (BoD).
This works with my Honor 8 (Nougat)
Don't use PIN code or pattern lock.
No worck on EMUI 8.
Is there any way to use the fingerprint scanner to wake the screen without having to enter a PIN?
Yes, it's like that by default. Just put your finger on the scanner and it will unlock while waking from sleep.

If you switch off the screen with screen lock app, then you have to put pin

I'd like to use the screen without lock or pin and just to wake it up when I touch the fingerprint scanner without having to enter a PIN. Is that possible?

That's the default setting.
You shouldn't need the PIN if the screen has simply timed out.

How do I set it up so that I don't need to enter a PIN every time I wake the screen?
As it is, when I enter/enroll my fingerprint, I have to assign a PIN as well. Then, every time I wake the screen, it also asks me for a PIN.
I'd like to be able to pick up the phone in the morning, touch the fingerprint sensor and unlock the phone without having to also enter a PIN.
It looks like there is timeout. If you just turn off and then use fingerprint, so phone will ask pin. But if phone went to sleep, you do not have to use pin, just finger.
My device only asks for the PIN after a reboot, otherwise the fingerprint will suffice.
Just like mine.
Yeaaaaaaaaah wtf? Did you set your phone to automatically power off and power on on a certain schedule? Because literally every Android phone that uses fingerprint unlock only requires pin or pass if phone was rebooted and only that once until you reboot again

Not exactly. The default doesn't include a fingerprint-wake option. I'm asking if it's possible to use the fingerprint sensor to wake the device without having to enter a pin.

I just set it up and entered my fingerprint and it asks me for a pin. Now, whenever I use the power button to lock the screen, it asks me for my pin instead of just waking up from scanner.

Do you know what you are asking?
That's the default unlock option,you can unlock the phone with ur fingerprint without the need of pin.
The pin is only needed once you reboot the phone.
Very weird man. I'm thinking something in your settings is causing that

Okay. Mine's not working that way. Not sure why.
Check ur settings.
I think it has something to do with the Nova setting "Double tap" to sleep the screen. I disabled this and it works.
Good that you found the culprit.

In Settings / Fingerprint ID / Fingerprint Management (you will need your PIN here) is Unlock Screen set to On (blue with the circle on the right)?
Do you mean "wake" as in when you have put it to sleep by a short press on the power button, or by letting the screen timeout. Done that way, the default will unlock the phone by fingerprint - if you have set fingerprint as an option and enrolled at least one (and use that one)!
edit: I have just tried an app called Gravity Lock so that if I put my phone face down it would lock the screen. The problem with it is that it meant I had to use the PIN to unlock the phone, as the fingerprint was prevented by the app. I've uninstalled it (had to do that from with in the app) and the phone is back to unlocking by fingerprint.
Or do you mean "Start" which is when you have to reboot the phone having long pressed on the power button, and then chosen "Power Off" followed by "Power off". Can't think why you'd do that. That way, it takes appreciably longer to start and you get the Huawei logo and animations. After this, you'll need your PIN.

It seems the problem was using Nova's gesture double-tap to sleep the screen. When I disabled that, it works as it should.
Hello,
I want to use the patern lock method. The problem is that when I want to unlock the phone I must swipe the screen first and then to use the patern.(I select the only the patern method). I have searched the web(a lot) and still I can't get an answer.... On my previous phone(Note4 with Android 6.1) this behavior was not present. Is there a "magic " setting that can end my suffering?
Thank you in advance!
What happens when you also include fingerprint as a option?... meaning you have both pin and fingerprint as options.
You also have to swipe to use the iris scanner too...annoying for sure.

There's an option to have it scan for you iris as soon as you hit the unlock button.
The swipe is present if I chose pattern+face or pattern+iris...I just can get ride of it...I must swipe first and then biometrics or pattern...
No swipe needed, go to settings>display>navigation bar then turn on Unlock with home button, no need to swipe now just push the home button.
looking to slove this as well on galaxy s7 active...
we don't have the nav bar option...
