You could try an app called Invisible Protector. You can use it to lock your apps, but instead of the app showing up as locked it will show up w/ a FC error, and you can then use several different ways to access the locked app. And the only place the Protector app shows up is in the Widgets list. They also have one (Invisible Protector II) that doesn't show up at all. You have to dial a command to get to the settings.
For example I have mine setup so that when the error pops up it gives me an option to send an error report and in the next field I just enter my password and the app loads.

But there is administrator under settings but I can't get it setup

That administrator option under settings I believe is to enable administrator features to certain apps - for instance allow a find my phone app to enable the GPS without going through the warning dialog, or enable a wipe app to remotely wipe the entire device's memory without confirmations if you lose it.

Ok thanks that's to bad I would love to have a guest account

Thee is a developer asking for testers for just what you are asking for look in the bottom forum section for apps and themes

I think this is the thread
Use this with a app lock program.

That being said, there is no 'non-hackish' way to do that. While the kernel supports true multiuser, the rest of the OS doesn't. The Admin stuff in the settings is for locked-down devices integrated into corporate networks (i. e. you're only allowed to use apps approved by your boss and installed by your admin and your device gets wiped if you try to get around it... though it can be made less strict)

I also use an app to lock thing down. Only I know of

The lockdown works via certain apps that install security hooks in your device -- basically giving them the ability to remote-wipe the device or do other funny stuff without your consent. The only app I know of that acually uses this is Junos Pulse, used to access Juniper SSL VPN networks (mostly in corporate or university settings), though I guess some of the 'remote admin' capabilities of antivirus tools use the same mechanisms.
The bottom line: Your app may actually use the mechanisms I described in my earlier post. If you want to check, see settings -> location & security -> device administrators.

I noticed this post on the Gtablet site. It looks to do what you are asking for. Read down the the last post on page 1. I have not tried it yet so cant verify whether it works or not.

Disable N7 from offering to log me into every Google webpage

Is there a way to disable the N7 from logging me in and offering to log me in to every Google re-seed webpage and service? I like to share my N7, but I don't like that if you open Chrome to Gmail.com, it will log into the Gmail service automatically or offer to do so. I can use a security app like App Protector to lock down the Gmail APP, but I don't want to disable Chrome entirely. I just don't want people to be able to use Chrome on the N7 to be able to log into Gmail, G+, etc.
How can I do this?

UPDATE: Better, but still no solution.
I found that Chrome has a settings (tap menu, then Settings, then tap your email address listed at the top of the menu immediately below "Basics"). There you will find an option called "Auto sign-in (sign into to Google sites automatically)." By un-ticking this box, it no longer offer to log me into Gmail, merely because I visit gmail.com (or mail.google.com).
This is only partially helpful. Anyone who knows this can simply open the settings and tick the box and then get into my Gmail. The solution is to password-protect the Settings menu in Chrome. Devs, I'd pay for that.

[Q] Why are App Privacy settings show different permissions than App Store?

Hello,
I wanted to ask a question about the difference in permissions for an app that are shown on the Play store and in App Privacy area of the setting.
For example, when I downloaded Accuweather Platinum from Play store, I was told that the app will have access to Identity, Location, and Photos/Media/Files. For Identity, it further stated that it "uses one or more of: accounts on the device, profile data."
I found it rather intrusive that a weather app would want access to my identity information, be it anything. Especially, since their privacy policy dictates that they can track user behavior on ANY site the user visits and not just on AccuWeather site.
But when I go to Settings -> App Privacy -> AccuWeahter, I only see the permissions listed as "coarse location, fine location, vibrate, keep awake" and the check boxes are there to block either one or all of them (location, vibrate, keep awake.)
Can someone please help me understand how this works. Why did Google Play mention that app will have access to my identity information and if the app really has that access, why won't App Privacy allow me to restrict that access.
Thanks

I've been trying to find out how the new google play permissions work too. I don't know what permissions have changed any more because it only lists all permissions and doesn't makr the new ones, so you have to go back to the Application settings and look at what they currently use and then, like you say, work out how they line up. I think google has succeeded in gettting people to not care anymore about permissions. Why take away the visibility and control of it all? Anyway, hope I can find something that can help. In the meantime, I just won't update apps with changed permissions.
I do have an app that now says "uses one or more of: accounts on the device, profile data." and their response was "We made changes that were required by play services and advertising network". I find that a bit hard to believe.
Edit: Having said that I just came across this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/playpermissionsexposed-fix-play-store-t2783076. You'll need to be rooted and have xposed framework installed though.

Instant apps on OnePlus 5

I want to try "Instant Apps" feature, but I can't get it on OnePlus 5.
It should be in "Settings -> Google -> Instant Apps", but I didn't find it there. So, I looked further and found "PlayStore -> Settings -> Use apps without installation". But when I open this option, it is written "Instant Apps Account, Choose a Google Account to use with Instant Apps" and there is only one choice - NONE.
My phone is unlocked and with official ROM. PlayStore works as it should.
Any idea what is wrong?

Important things, not all application are Instant Apps compatible. Have you try Clash Royale ?
Because I have an OP5 and the Instant App feature works, and I did nothing to get it done

Yes, I know that App has to be Instant Apps compatible.
No, even Clash Royale works like all other programs (without Try).
Can you check "PlayStore -> Settings -> Use apps without installation"? What accounts are listed?

password auto-fill

I have a question about the password auto-fill for apps and chrome browser websites. I have not spent enough time in oxygen os to know.
I usually used pixel-like roms and the passwords would just appear in the username and passwords areas and all i had to do was click next. An in some compatible apps it will just auto login bypassing the login screen i.e. Spotify.
On this rom though, when coming to a login page, the password and login fields are blank until i click on them. Then a prompt come up from the bottom the screen with an option to fill it in for me.
Is this just the way oxygen os handles passwords and if so is there a way to make it autofill like in pixels?
Or is something setup wrong in my phone? Thanks in advance.

Honestly, you're probably better off using a dedicated app to auto fill passwords instead of using the auto fill by Google or the rom. An app would be independent from the system and is generally a much safer alternative. Try something like KeepassDX, it has a dedicated keyboard to auto fill the password and supports fingerprint authentication. It's not exactly what you want but with the fingerprint and keyboard I feel like it could come close, but only a few extra steps. Then you wouldn't have to worry about the ROM bugging out while handling your passwords. Just an option if you can't get it working right.

Thank you for your input but i wasnt looking for a google replacement.
I was asking specifically about google's password autofill.
Im on the OnePlus 7 port ob9. It is the best 4om i have tried yet. But this password thing is having me do an extra 2 clicks every time i have to type .y password.

Open chrome browser, open menu upper right (the vertical dots) then Password section.
I guess apps using Chrome Webview or having a chromium based browser built in to display web pages will be able to handle passwords, if you use Android System Webview (default) and not another one.
passwords.google.com to see your recorded passwords and access to help pages. You can access this settings in system settings > accounts > 'your Google account' also
You're not on a Pixel phone, Google services integration in system is not the same. That's not an OOS matter but a 'non Pixel' matter.

So i found the solution. I just uninstalled all chrome updates so it reverted to the original chrome version the rom came with. Went to multiple login pages and the passwords and usernames autofilled just perfectly just like on all other roms. So i updated back to the latest chrome and the passwords still autofill properly.
Something must have messed up during chrome updates. Just haply to get my autofill working. Yah
