I have 6.5 on my HD and was curious if I could use the lockscreen but without a password so I could keep the slider and notifications, I just dont want to enter a password each time thanks!
the only time you have enter the password, is if you setup the pin function on it, otherwise the slide fuction in wm6.5 works as normal

if i do not enter "setting">>"lock" and click the "prompt if phone unused for", the unlock slide to application screen will not appear.
but if choose not to enter the pin, i cannot select the "prompt if phone unused for"
is there a way to activate the unlock slide to application screen but no need to input password everytime??
million thanks.
Forced lock by MS exchange
Yes this is a huge problem. I have the pin lock force on by MS exchange security settings. In WM6.1 this only affecxted when the phone was turned on not everytime it is locked.
This cab (from another thread) removes the lock enforced by Exchange.
Works on my 6.1 and I believe on 6.5 too.
Run it, then go to you Lock settings and the tick box to remove lock is no longer greyed out ...
Alternatively here's the reg setting to edit:
Enable/Disable Exchange Security Policy
Registry Key: HKLM\Security\Policies\00001023
To enable it: Set value to 0
To disable it: Set value to 1
I used similar registry tweak in WM6.1 to get away with the exchange security policy but not working now for the new WM6.5. eg. I can change the inactivity minutes AEFrequencyValue to long enough but still the phone asks for unlock password frequently.

I have the Same Problem.
I'm force to have a Password from the exchange security Policy.
I have set the "Promt if phone unused for " to 30 Minutes, but each time the the phone goes to sleep, the Password is asked again.
Did someone have a solution without disabling Exchange Policy or installing S2U2??
Thanks

If you disable lock in setting > lock, i.e. untick 'Prompt if phone unused for' and just use slider functionality in wm6.5 you don't need to enter PIN any more.
Install attached cab (Smart Lock) and once installed go to settings > system > smart lock and ensure that both 'wm6.5 new lock' and 'suspend lock' are ticked, then soft reset. Now each time you turn screen off device will lock and to unlock it you use the slider
I installed the Stay Unlock cab and I still have to enter my password when my phone reboots. Until now, for day, it did not ask me for a password after 15 mins of inactivity, but today, it is again asking me for passwd every 15 mins if I don't use the phone. I am not even able to ever uncheck the setting for Lock which turns on requiring passwd - that setting is grayed out for me even after installing the cab. Could someone please throw some light on this? Thanks.

==========================
in 6.5 the key is a bit different (policies twice):
Enable/Disable Exchange Security Policy
Registry Key: HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023
To enable it: Set value to 0
To disable it: Set value to 1
WM 6.5 Company Policy Activated Device Encryption
I recently set up Exchange e-mail on my WM 6.5 AT&T Tilt 2 (Touch Pro 2), which resulted in activating device encryption. Although I check the email box to remember my password, the device constantly asks me for a password.
I've since removed the Exchange e-mail account (I'll go back to synching rather than direct connect as this is too much of a hassle). However, I can't seem to turn off device encryption.
After reading this forum, I've tried the "Stay Unlocked.cab" and the registry settings (e.g., HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001023 setting) to no avail. The "Prompt if Phone unused for remains grey/unselectable.
One thought: When I checked the 1023 key setting it was 0 so I set it to 1. That had no effect. But reading the post 0 = enable so I tried setting the value to 0 and got a message popup: "Exchange server has just enforced security policy required for Active Sync." So something of Exchange is still running or enabled...how can I turn this off?
WM 6.5 Company Policy Activated Device Encryption
Deleting the Exchange connection in Active Sync did the trick. That was so easy I do feel a bit foolish...
I tried to add a new IPSec VPN profile today and after saving the preshared key I was prompted to enter the Credential Storage password, which I have never setup. Anything I enter fails; I can keep trying indefinitely and it never prompts to reset credential storage.
Looking in Settings > Security > Credential Storage shows Storage type is "Backup to hardware" and not changeable and Clear credentials is also grayed out.
Why can't I create local credential storage secured by my own password with this device?
EDIT: So I found the workaround, but not really an answer to the credential storage issue:
http://www.pocketables.com/2014/02/fix-credential-storage-roadblock-android.html
Essentially, Credential Storage forces you to use PIN or Password unlock options only, but you must disable all unlock options first and run something that requests credential storage to enable it. If you set PIN or Password unlock yourself and try to enable credential storage in VPN it will fail. Thankfully I don't need to use VPN from device really so i can go back to Fingerprint unlock, but hopefully this helps someone else in the future.
I've tried it repeatedly, all with same results. Not sure how to resolve it yet

By the way, I brought this issue to both Samsung and Verizon support and their only answers were to perform a factory reset.
Lesson learned: I'm better at supporting my device than the manufacturer and carrier combined.
On my Sprint LG G2, the option to select the screen lock setting of "Knock Code" is disabled/grayed out with the following message:
Disabled by administrator, encryption policy, or credential storage
(the options to select "None", "Swipe", and "Face Unlock" are also disabled/grayed out)
Any way to figure out what is causing this, and to correct it?
Thanks!

Two options come to mind:
Is your device encrypted?
Do you have maybe a connection to a corporate Exchange server? That may be adding device policies.
go to setting - security - certificates management - clear credentials
I searched everywhere and could not find an answer on how to remove the pin/password credential for foxfi. I have finally figured out how.
1. Install and activate Foxfi (add pin and check trusted credentials box)
2. Go to Android Device Manager(make sure you are logging in with the gmail associated with the phone you are wanting to reset the password on)
3. Click on Lock and enter your new password.
4. Go back to your phone and now it will ask for the new password.
5. Now you can go into settings>lockscreen>screen lock and change to whatever you want.
Or just click wrong password 20x and you can then go put lock screen back to whatever

I tried that and got to over 75x and it still never gave me an option to reset my password.
I believe it's settings/security/clear credentials.

That would in fact disable foxfi also. You would have to have the credentials installed for foxfi to actually work. This makes it were you dont need a pin/password to unlock the phone while keeping the foxfi credentials installed.
This is my first ever post to xda so if I didn't post this correctly please let me know. So where I work they have an app that you can use to check your schedule/hours worked etc. For some reason the app asks for the password for the credential storage before I can use it. I had to look that up online because I didnt know there was a password for it and I'm not 100 percent sure what credential storage is used for. I'm assuming stored usernames/passwords for certain websites? Anyways I found out the password is the same as the 4 digit screen lock password. not a big deal on my phone but on the watch it took me to the security settings menu where I set a screen lock pattern. But now I've changed my mind and don't want the screen lock. I have to unlock the screen to see the watch face I have set. My question is how can I access the security settings menu? I can't do it with my work app. It only took me there because I didn't have a screen lock.
