Some people think that a pin code is not needed to lock the screen. If you are one of these people, then read this article and you will learn how to disable the pin code on the lock screen.
Any phone or tablet after pressing the power button requires a swipe across the screen, that is, slide your finger. After such actions, you get to the main menu. But some people don't like blocking or have other reasons to disable it.
Types of lock screens
Disabling blocking altogether can lead to some problems. It's not just that Google is improving features in locked mode. If you don't like the usual way of unlocking your device, then why not try another one?
At the time of this writing, the following types of screen locks are standard for Android:
- Swipe across the screen- the same traditional unlocking method.
- PIN entry is a very old method and is fairly secure. The simplest selection of a PIN-code does not work here, because after several unsuccessful attempts a timer appears - a new entry will be available only after its expiration.
- Graphic key- ideal for those who are better at memorizing visual information, rather than a set of numbers.
- Fingerprint is the most reliable way to protect the information contained on your smartphone. It is almost impossible to outwit a fingerprint sensor.
- Iris- its scanning is implemented in Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 +. In the future, this unlocking method will be implemented in other flagship devices.
- Password input- the longest unlocking method. A password differs from a PIN code in that it can contain letters and other symbols.
IN Google play you can find many different lock screens to suit your taste and color. The choice is huge.
Eliminate the lock screen
If you still decide to remove the lock screen, then go to the settings. But I want to warn you that this method may not work for every device. The manufacturer of some gadgets simply forbade removing the lock screen altogether.
Go to the "Security" section
We select the item "B screen lock"
Click here " No" or " Missing».
If there is no such item, then most likely there is no way to disable the lock screen.
What to do if you forgot your password
In case you forgot your password, it is very sad. Unlocking the phone without losing data is almost impossible. There is one way, for this you need to enter the password incorrectly several times. After entering the password incorrectly, you will be asked to enter data from the Google account that is linked to the phone.
If this way did not help, then all that remains is that all data from the phone will be deleted, including the screen lock.
Many users, after installing the Windows 10 operating system, find that they have to enter a PIN every time they log in. This feature protects your account from unauthorized interference, which is especially useful on laptops, tablets and others. mobile devices... But for desktop computer, which is used exclusively at home, such protection is often unnecessary. Now you will learn how to remove the PIN code when entering operating system Windows 10.
