Foxfi Pin/Password Disable - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General

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.

N1 VPN remember password option - NOT AVAIVABLE

N1 VPN remember password option - NOT AVAIVABLE
Any way to get around it?
I have to enter VPN password every time when I need to reconnect,
and there is no option to save password.
if you go to code google, Issue 4369, that issue is discussed, and it's hopeless!
any other way? anything at all?
Thank you.
really?! no solution?
Its more than likely a security measure.
If your phone ever got stolen, they would be able to VPN into your work network as well.
so there is no way? I mean editing source code? is it really hard?
no one else cares?
you should be able to set a master password that you have to enter whenever using a VPN, therefore you can store all the complex passwords on the N1 and just enter one master password when you need to connect.
major pain in the ass my vpn password is long.. need to have an option to save..

[Q] Resetted motoblur password through PC, now cannot login through phone

So I wanted to check "locate my phone" feature of moto blur and went to the web site (https://portal-blur.svcmot.com/blur-web-portal), but could not remember my password.
I did a reset password through my laptop and changed it and logged in to the portal. But now that password is changed, phone throws up an error saying my blur password is wrong. I click on the notification to enter the new password, but the damn thing shows me the password change option with old password, and 2x new password instead of just the "enter new password" screen.
How am I going to enter my new password to this stupid blur?

Motoblur and Google asks u to relogin whenever u inset a different sim on the phone....so try putting a different sim (doesnt matter which network) relogin again .... it should work...
Not the best solution but should work..
Remove SIM card and connect via WiFi

Good idea -- that worked...
I was having the same problem.. Changed my Motoblur password (had forgotten the old one) online, then when the Atrix notified me of the password change, I got sent to the wrong screen. Changing the password here required entering the password I'd forgotten.
This procedure works on my wife's Motorola Cliq 2 - takes me to a screen that only asks to enter the new password. But my Atrix doesn't seem to do that.
I turned off the phone and extracted the SIM card -- I did not have another card handy to install, so I connected to a nearby open WiFi network. Motoblur locked the phone, and when it asked me to log in, I used my account name and the NEW password to log in, and it worked. I got one last notification about the password change, but I cleared it and moved on.
Everything seems to be OK at this point. Not the most elegent solution, but it did work for me (for now, anyway.)
I did the same thing. I had another sim card but it was a European operator card and I certainly did not want to rack roaming data for stupid blur So I waited until I went home, removed the sim, booted the phone, entered the new password, inserted old sim, rebooted the phone, re-entered the password yet again.
Deep from my heart I want to say "Idiots!" to people who coded this whole blur thingy at Motorola.
Thanks for the answers both of you by the way : o)
Looks like Motorola may be aware of the following issue (and may have attempted to fix it).
Their support site (Answer ID 63006) states: "You will need to type your new password in all three boxes, "Old Password", "New Password", and "Confirm Password".
I tried doing the following multiple times and had no luck. Finally found this thread and did what was suggested and all went well.
Had to turn the phone off/pull the back cover, battery & sim off/turn it on without sim/turn it off/turn it on with sim/re-enter my Motoblur username/password and it worked like a charm.

thanks, btw auto restore stuff is checked..but it didnt work
You can always try to unlock it via :
http://www.samsungdive.com/DiveMain.do
It should let you unlock your phone remotly without reset, as you have setup a samsung account.
Do try and post feedback if working or not with unlock pattern.
Good luck
thanks..nope..it doesnt buddy..i tried samsungdive..it asks for recovery password and thats it!!!
mmmmm....
So to setup your exchange account (to be compliant with your company) you had to setup your phone with unlock patern or PIN pattern. It should also had a "device administrator" (try to see in the settings menu, If it is right) to let your company network admin to remotely wipe everythings. So this password recovery might been set by him from the server side. Ask him if he had setup any password for remote wipe or anything else.
Good luck

yeah..you are right..and i tried callin my IT hep desk..and she just says use your email password, which obviously dint work..by the way app suggested by dr.ketan is good..but im a bit late..
Ok,
I know for sur that your IT has the option for PIN unlock pattern enforcement.
You could always ask to setup again a PIN from their side and use it as your unlock "way". And the device administrator password is alsmost for "sur" not your personnal password from your company ( except If your network admin know all your password and set the same for the device administrator wich sound/is quiet strange).
But almost for sur this recovery password is set from your company side from exchange (ask them to go to the server AD and right click your user, and in the exchange/email tab their should be a "remote device" option or such tab in wich all the options, enforcement and password specific for your account and his phone/remote device access)
Goold luck

I tried outlook weboption..here is wat i have.
no option to view password .
Manage your mobile devices here.
You can remove devices that you are no longer using. If you forget your device password, you can access it here. If you lose your phone or mobile device, you can initiate a remote device wipe to protect your information.
To add a new device, begin a partnership with Microsoft Exchange from the device and it will appear in the list below.
Remove Device from List... | Wipe All Data from Device...
hmm..thts because..
Display Recovery Password (Windows Mobile 6 only): This option allows you to access your device if you've lost or forgotten the password. To unlock your device:
Press Menu, and then select Reset password.
The device will alert you that you must select a new password and supply a recovery password, which you can find in OWA. Once you have accepted, create a new password, and then press OK.
The screen will tell you where to find the recovery password and provide a space to enter it. Enter the recovery password, and then press OK.

Let me tell you this. I also have my corporate email account set in my Note, but instead of using stock email app I am using Touchdown.
That way the corporate does not have any access to you're full mobile, it is restricted to Touchdown.
The regular screen lock is the typical Android function.

Lock Screen Swipe is grayed-out

I installed a new certificate for a new VPN service and it asked to have a lock screen password.
Now the "Swipe" method is grayed-out. Is there anyway to override that? FYI, the Phone is rooted.
Thanks

How to access the security settings on the Domino dm368 smart watch?

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.
