I've been using Screen Off and Lock forever to lock my phone using the swipe-up-from-home-nav-button (instead of the default Google Now).
After updating to Lolipop, I started using my Moto 360 as a trusted device and enabled a PIN lock on my phone. When I lock the phone with the power button and my Moto 360 connected, no PIN screen appears when I turn the screen back on.
However, if I lock the phone using the app Screen Off and Lock, the PIN screen always comes on when I go to turn the screen back on. This defeats the whole purpose/convenience of the trusted device bypassing the PIN. Anyone know how to fix this? Or know of an app that will work better?
It hasn't been updated since January so I imagine its just an incompatibility

I'm on stock rooted Lollipop and I'm running into a similar issue, but with face unlock instead of trusted device.
I have double-tap on Nova Launcher set to system lock using Tasker, and when I lock my phone using that, face unlock doesn't activate, and won't until I put in my PIN password and then re-lock using the power button.

I also tried locking my phone using Greenify instead of Screen Off & Lock, sam result. Perhaps there is a way to implement locking the phone that won't trigger the PIN to unlock? Or - and I hope this isn't the case - maybe there is no way to do this in 5.0?

I tried messing around with screen timeout in Tasker, but it doesn't let me set it to 0 seconds (for obvious reasons, I guess haha), since I noticed that letting my screen time out seems to work just fine for triggering face unlock. The lowest I can set it to is 7 seconds though, if I remember right, which is a bit too high for a screen off function.

Have the same issue, wait for developer to fix it.

Not sure this will be "fixed". All apps that are stating to lock the phone will actually do so, whether trusted devices are enabled or not. They act the same way as if you are on the lockscreen with the lock disabled by a trusted device and then press the lock symbol at the bottom, this also locks the device. This has been a problem forever, apps just work differently than the hardware power button.
As a fix you can try the following: Use another app to completely disable the lockscreen or keyguard (whatever your prefer) when a trusted device is connected instead of using the android built in feature.
If you are like me and want to use the new trusted devices feature of lollipop you can use Tasker as a workaround. Create a tasker task with the command "run shell --> input keyevent 26". This also requires root. Then you can use the app Home Button Launcher to set a shortcut to run the new task when swiping up. This is what I'm using and it works without any problem! I hope I could help.

I attached a pic of trying to do what you said in Tasker. When I run the task, nothing happens.

Have you installed the latest superSU beta? The previous versions had problems with the new security features introduced by lollipop. If you're not using this latest version my solution won't work.

It worked! SuperSU beta did the trick.
Also, I didn't need a separate app to make a Home key shortcut, I just made a profile: Event -> UI -> Assistance Request -> add the Task with input keyevent 26.
Thanks!
Nothing against Screen Off and Lock as it's just doing what it's designed to do (and Lock after all) but this is a useful work around, thanks.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. First I tried it that way, but for some reason it didn't work, so thats why I use an external app But I'm glad it works for you!

Thanks you guys. Now I feel more at home with Lollipop with my old habit. I couldn't stand that smart lock was disabled when I used other screen off apps (then again those haven't gotten an update for a while too).

There probably won't be. The app is called "... And Lock". Technically, it's doing what its supposed to.

Was searching for a solution and i found this thread! Thanks a lot!
So no hope for people like me who don't use trusted devices/places but use trusted face? Because I think even tasker can't do that with trusted face unlock.
Also looking for a solution to this with trusted faces on lollipop.
Edit: If you're interested, you can follow the defect here: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79735
I use a pattern lock paired with trusted face. I actually have to look at my phone or use the pattern when I am away from home, but for some reason there is no lock when I'm at home. I don't have any trusted places.
Thanks in advance,

Why not just use a normal pattern lock? Never trust "trusted face"

How do i setup only fingerprint reader to unlock my phone? I can only seem to have it ask for pin,swipe or password after reading fingerprint
Sent from my Pixel using XDA-Developers Legacy app
You can't, you must have a backup method. If you just want a fingerprint unlock set it to be a bunch of random numbers for a pin and forget them.
You need a backup in case the phone ever has trouble reading your fingerprint. Also, the phone will ask for your backup whenever it restarts.
Bad idea to use just fingerprint. I was working with food and water bare handed and afterwards the fingerprint scanner couldn't recognize my fingers until they un-shriveled
Also when the phone reboots in needs a back up to re enter ...Or if you fill the fingerprint more then five times
As others have mentioned, but I'll say again. You can't/shouldn't for many reasons, such as:
You need to enter your PIN/Pattern when your phone reboots.
You need to unlock your phone with gloves on, wet hands, dirty hands, or otherwise the reader is unusable.
You need to unlock your phone with the phone flat on a surface.
You need to ever reset your phone.
You need to change private information like Android Pay, Play Store Purchases, etc. that need at least an initial PIN/password to use.
So just to clear this up, you don't have two lock screens right? You don't have to use fingerprint then use pin to unlock?

Hello people,
Here I bring to you face unlock for our beautiful Asus Zenfone MAX. Heres how to do it:
Download:
You will need any ROM that has the Google "Smart Lock" feature. I can confirm this is available with most Custom Roms > AOSP Extended 4.6, XOSP, AIM Rom, Resurrection Remix etc. But my personal favorite is Dot OS. Download link below:
DOT OS Downoad link:
DOT OS
Activate Google Smart Lock
Go to Security>Smart Lock
Add Trusted Face
Select "Trusted Face" and add your face
Voila, You are Done
Well, not yet.
If you test it now, the phone will unlock but you will still need to "Swipe Up" to go to the home screen. Bad, huh?
Well, that is sorted too!
Download "AutoInput" from Play Store
Theres a catch here. You need to download the paid version of the App. Thats a cost. Or if you know any way of getting it fr free, let me know
Open Autoinput App
Grant "Accessibility" Access
Click on Auto Dismiss Keyguard
Click on "Enable"
NOW YOU are DONE
Lock your phone.
Click on the power button to light up screen.
Hold it to your face and Voila, there goes the face unlock!
Enjoyy !
I guess xposed has an active module(instant face unlock) for the purpose of auto input... But it seems a bit laggy compared to auto input.Also i guess the trusted face option in smart lock depends on which open gapps you are flashing.... I got it by flashing stock version(pico didn't have the trusted face option).nano too has the feature
Occasionally, while on call, or when I open my phone, I get this message (image below)
"Password required for additional security"
I have fingerprint unlock saved in the settings. Instead of allowing fingerprint unlock, it requires entering my password/pin. I use a long and secure password, so it takes time to enter it and make sure it's correct. I already enter this password everytime my phone boots, so this additional request is extremely annoying and unnecessary.
Does anyone know Why this additional request is made? What triggers it? Or How to disable it?
Any help is appreciated
I am also interested
I get this occasionally and I have a short pin. I think it is very much "backing" up fingerprint security since no security is perfect. Good security involves something you have "fingerprint" and something you know "pin" since it would be very unlikely an imposter would have both. I would be very surprised if there is a way to turn the random check of your pin off.

Unfortunately, this "security check" can make your device LESS secure, because it happens at random times. If you're in the grocery store, at someone's house, or anywhere with security camera's, then entering your Pin/Password can be recorded on video. More businesses and people are installing camera's everyday.
In these situations using Fingerprint (instead of Pin) is More Secure. It's for this reason I want to disable it randomly requiring pin/password
hate this
Yep I hate the one that programed this security feature without an obvious way to turn it off, we don't no one telling us what is good for our security. I want it to unlock everytime I touch the finger print scanner, even at startup, and if anything I want it to lock down if I use a certain finger and then require a password.
Mod edit: Removed unacceptable language.
I actually have a pretty simple PIN just because of this situation otherwise fingerprint is just fine :/
can this be disabled? everyone can see me type in my pin when this happens
