Hi all,
I have a CAT S30, when I set up my Exchange email it forced me to use a password on the device.
After looking through the security settings I can see the device is not encrypted. If I encrypt the device will it allow me to remove the password on the device (I need to enter it every time I unlock the screen and it's bugging me).
If I turn on the encryption will I be able to turn off the forced screen lock security that's currently in place?
thanks,

Hi,
I don´t even know if this is possible due to security policies, but can anybody knows or can make an app that allows to simply switch between slide and password screen locks?
In other words: Today if I want to set the password I have to type it ...twice. Then when I want to disable the password I need to type it again- Then I can disable the password , but it is not remembered. So if I later want to re-enable the password, well, I have to set a new password and type it twice again.
What I would like is for the password to be remembered internally, and to easily and quickly switch between password and no password.
Not sure if it is even possible to do for rooted phones.
Thanks
Gonzalo
Dear All,
my phone is periodically requesting password insead to accept the fingerprint (every 2 days?). Because i have a very long passphrase, encrypted device with boot-password this "feature" has 0 benefit for me. As touchsceen typing-hater (this is pure digital paralympics) i really get frustrated when i have to type in this passphrase. Is there any way to get rid of this "feature"? I don't want to switch back to a simple PIN.
If your talking about passphrase on boot, you can disable it by re-setting up you password, and the first thing it asks you is if you want secure boot
Sorry, i though i was writing in english but it seems that it was mandarin. Absolutely not, i mean the unlock password.
? no, it periodically locks the device down for more security. When this happens does it read "password needed for security" or something like that?
Yes, and this is just senseless. I've replaced the A9 by a S7, so doesn't interest anymore.
I know that there is some kind of encryption of my internal storage. Does the phone come encrypted, being that there is no option to encrypt the internal storage in the security settings? I know that I can set a password for my lock screen and then enable secure startup. When I do that and turn my phone off and on again, it says that my phone is encrypted. Does that mean when I enter my password and the phone boots up that my phone is still encrypted? Is it encrypted when the phone is on but when needing to enter the password and entering the password takes away encryption momentarily? How does encryption work on this phone, when is it enabled and disabled? I'd love feedback. Thanks.
I noticed that a password is required to turn off the device from the lockscreen to prevent theft I'm assuming.
However, the device can be restarted without a password. My phone is encrypted with the password protection, and will factory reset with enough failed attempts.
Doesn't that make the power off security useless? Also if the phone happens to be stolen, there wouldn't be a way to recover it since it would not be connected to a network.
Am I missing something?
Hi XDA peoples. I come to you in times of great need, and to satisfy your curiosity.
Recently, my mother enabled biometrics on her discover banking app, specifically face ID. However, this enabled face unlock on the entire phone and, in doing so, set a password for the phone. Note, there was no password or any other authentication on this phone before - completely open device. Now she is completely locked out of the device due to the default security settings requiring a password every 4 hours. Remote unlock is disabled, so there is no hope of that working.
Now, my question is this: is there a password that the device would automatically apply if needed? And if so, does anybody know what it is?
Thanks.
Device is a T-mobile S21+, 8G RAM 128GB Storage.
I appreciate all help.
