The basic problem is that when connecting to an enterprise wifi network, you must enter a password for using secure credentials. The password entered is only valid for that session and does not survive a reboot. After rebooting, the check-box for "Use Secure Credentials" under the Security settings screen is unchecked. The phone will continue to try and connect to the enterprise wifi network (failing each time) until the "Use Secure Credentials" checkbox is checked and the password is entered.
I saw that there were several threads under several different phone subforums discussing this same issue. The closest solution I found was an app called Keystore Unlocker. Unfortunately, it does not work with the current version of su and appears to be abandoned.
I'm looking for any suggestions on how to automatically enable this option following a reboot. Any options including paid apps are perfectly fine. I'm also rooted.
Did you find a solution to this? It is really annoying.
Many thanks.
Nope.
It's pretty crazy that there is no way this can be done - even on a rooted phone.

Keystore Unlocker (root only)
An elegant solution to this issue. Works perfectly!
Fantastic!
Thanks for posting.
A strange thing happened. The Keystore Unlocker app stopped working for me. Previously, when my phone was booting up, I would see two "grants" for su for this app - one was for Keystore Unlocker and the other was for root. Now, when I reboot, I only see the first one. Strange thing is, when I do the "lock/unlock" test in the app, it works fine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Cleared entries from Superuser. Reinitialized the keystore. Deleted and readded WiFi profiles. Cleared cache and Davlik.
Any other ideas?
For anyone following along, the most recent update to the Superuser app is what broke Keystore Unlocker. I downgraded and it's working again.
I'm not able to disable the PIN (or any security based lock screen; Password, Pin, or Pattern) and set the phone to just "Lock Screen" or even "No Lock Screen." The Face Unclock feature is also not available.
How do I remove the PIN (without a factory reset?)

Are you connected to a corporate Exchange email account? If so, I think the Exchange admin can require the lock screen and not let you turn it off.

+1 This happened to me on my last phone, built in policy in MS Exchange. I think if you delete the account, you can get the options back.

Only company email account used on the account is accessed through Gmail.
The "Lock Screen" was the selected option, until I tested out the PIN. But then when I went back into setting, Lock Screen and the other two were greyed out. So I can't remove the PIN now.

It's because you locked the microSD card. I had the same thing right now with LG G2 Mini
See if any of these will work for you

How do you delete micro SD protection? Can this be done without formatting the card?
Of course, because you do not format it. Settings/security/decrypt SD card storage.
of course that option will be shown if you encrypted the card before
I think that also works with phone encrypt so maybe that's why you can't delete pin

Did you ever solve the phone lock problem?
I have the same problem as the one you've described in this thread. Did you ever come to a solution on this one?

Ditto. Clear certificates.
figured it out
I managed to sort the issue out by clearing the credential storage on my device. It may not solve the issue for everyone.

So I had this problem but only after this most recent update beginning may. And what I did was go to setting, then security, there should be a credential storage area. I cleared the credentials went back to lock screen and it wasn't greyed out anymore. I don't even know what activated this because all I did was add a pin just like you and then wanted it off and I couldn't. But I solved it. Hope it works for you. Good luck
To opt out, Go to Settings » Accounts» Remove Google and Corporate/Exchange account then restart device.
Now again go to Account and add Google account.
Now lock the phone and try to unlock with invalid PIN/Pattern for 5 times, next it will automatically open SnapView settings, there, remove SnapView.
That's it, Go to Security » Lock screen, enter the current PIN/Pattern, now it will display all other lock options....
100% working for Android Lollipop, others not sure!!
The option is greyed out. Says due to administrator, encryption, or trusted credential. Phone is not encrypted. Cleared the credentials. And there are no apps with administrator privileges . My phone is rooted, however.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

Happens to me sometimes and I just re-enable it in the app settings.
I ended up wiping all security settings restricting access to the phone, wiped and disabled fingerprints, dropped intune so I could remove the startup password and pattern. Rebooted, readded fingerprints and password and now the misbehaving apps (including HSBC banking, Tesco apps and lastpass) all recognise and use fingerprints as expected.
I'd already dropped and readded fingerprints and that by itself didn't do it, but in effect resetting security settings did it for me!
Kudos to whoever came up with this solution!
Bank App says "Wrong Username or Password" when using fingerprint sign in...reset?
After the last update to the OS, I can no longer connect to most, if not all apps (not 100% tested) using the fingerprint reader.
The message I get in the app is that the username or password is incorrect. Is there a way to clear and reset this? I deleted all fingerprints, turned off security completely, cleared all data on app, uninstalled app, rebooted then reinstalled and re-did my fingerprints. Can unlock screen no problem. Now when I run the app, I am asked for a fingerprint, and it does the same...bad username or password.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
