Not sure if anyone has tried but when you set a PIN, lock pattern etc after you have set the update, it doesn't actually require you to enter this lock pattern / PIN when you turn the screen back on.
Occasionally it does but generally you can unlock the phone simply by swiping the stand unlock screen bar across the screen.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Even if you don't is anyone experiencing the same situation??
OK, so I reach to pick up my phone... Moto notify does it's thing and shows the padlock... I swipe down to unlock, and despite being in a well lit area etc I'm greeted by my unlock pattern.
If I wake the phone with the power button, it sees my face just fine and unlocks, no pattern required.
Same for everyone else?

Yeah, what you do is when you get asked to put in your pin you press the back button, do the face unlock, and swipe up to unlock your phone like usual, sadly there's no other way to get around it.
Works fine with smart unlock with a bluetooth device.
Yeah it's fine for when I have the smart unlock for trusted location and trusted bluetooth device (ie at home and car, in my case), but it's bit of a pain that the trusted face doesn't work with it.
Ah well, maybe it'll be fixed in M... but I won't hold my breath :lol:
Recently I started having an issue with fingerprint unlocking.
When I press the home key and put my thumb on it, the screen registered the thumb by the display getting slightly smaller then bigger and vibrating, but it doesn't unlock or change from the lock screen.
If I setup away the lock screen notifications or swipe to get to the "enter password or fingerprint" screen then it will unlock normally.
It seems to have simmering to do with notifications being on the lock screen.
Any ideas?
Help. I used the fingerprint lock screen method. Now on The Samsung s7, is asking for a password, after shutting down the phone, then back on. I can't get any passwords to work to release the locked screen. What do I do

why u posted on a two old month post?
and that situation looks like a stolen phone lol
when u set up fingerprint lock the phone ask u for a secondary method to unlock like pattern, pin or password (u can't setup figerprint unlock w/o doing this), when u reboot the phone ALWAYS ask u for that method on the first unlock, then u can use fingerprint as usual
Hello, looking for some help with resetting my phone's lock screen pattern unlock. I use fingerprint unlock as my primary unlock method and lock screen pattern unlock as my secondary. Recently, I've gotten into the habit of unlocking my phone via pattern instead of fingerprint. However as I tried to unlock my phone via pattern unlock yesterday, it didn't accept it and my phone locked me out for periods of time. I can still unlock my phone via fingerprint and if I'm in a trusted location (Home). I have no idea why my pattern is no longer being accepted.
As I'm still able to unlock my phone via fingerprint/trusted location, I went to settings to reset my lock screen pattern, but it requires the lock screen pattern to reset/change to a new lock screen pattern. Because my lock screen pattern is not being accepted I can't change/reset my lock screen pattern.
Is there anyway I can get around lock screen pattern to change to a new lock screen pattern?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Thanks guys, I was actually able to unlock and reset the pattern with 'Find My Mobile' Samsung service.
Hi onechionly,
How were you able to reset the pattern?
My wife ran into the same thing with her Samsung Galaxy Edge S7. She had a pattern and fingerprint set up. One day, her pattern no longer worked but the fingerprint worked fine. She can unlock with the fingerprint but if she had to change lock options (new pattern or a PIN), the phone asks for her pattern lock and she can't get further.
We logged into her Find My Mobile, but I couldn't find an option to "reset" the pattern. The closest thing I found was to lock her phone using a PIN and she can go in, but that's not the issue. The phone requires a pattern to access further security options in Settings.
If you provide more details, I would greatly appreciate it.
The OnePlus 6T's fingerprint sensor can easily be bypassed with this trick. . We have confirmed it working on two phones so far. Phone Unlocks itself via camera and voice from Lock screen, plz some one report..
Please confirm that the phone cannot see your face when you unlock it, and no Smart Lock trigger was active.
This alleged problem does not exist on my phone.

No i turned off face unlock , it just unlocks itself, just open the camera from lockscreen then close the camera app,
no , i turned off face unlock, it unlocks itself from launching camera from lockscreen thn closing the camera app, it bypasses all security locks " fingerprint , pins and face unlock"
We shall wait for others to check. I couldn't reproduce the error at all.
Do not have this problem with mine, are you sure you don't have your left thumb registered?

Either way if this is true. you should be reporting it to OnePlus. Not telling everyone on XDA how to break into someone elses 6T

So if I'm hearing you right, you're saying that by opening the camera from the lockscreen and then pressing your home button, your phone unlocks? Doesn't do that for me, it prompts me for my PIN or fingerprint when I press the home button. Can't reproduce this either... Might reinstall OOS? I'm at a loss for advice on this one.
I can reproduce this. I use navigation gestures, so opening the camera from the lockscreen and then just close it with the right (or left) swipe gesture to go back and you're in the phone. I don't think it has anything to do with the fingerprint sensor.
Edit: now I can't reproduce it anymore strange.. [emoji848]
I'm not able to reproduce this either. Switched to navigation gestures. Turned off face unlock. Launched camera from lock screen. Swipe from side to go back took me to lock screen with fp prompt only, no keypad for PIN. Tried again, this time swiping from middle to go home. I get fp prompt & keypad for PIN. However, with this screen the camera stays open and viewable through the lockscreen, but phone is still locked.
After a few tries I see my home screen but it's only a flash then it's back to my lock screen. It looks like it may want to but maybe I'm doing it wrong. Either way, this looks important enough to report to OP and see what's what.

Tilted phone so it can't capture my face and tried as you've said - running camera and voice commands from lockscreen and phone is still locked, cannot bypass..
So there are two vartiants.
1) Phone still recognizes your face
2) Enabled smart unlock? so phone knows that you are in home and automatically unlocks device.

Nope, i unlocked my friends mobile @ my home...
You sure you have a pin/fp/pattern set up at all?
I've been trying for 5 minutes with gestures and it always just either asks me for a pin or sends me back to the lock screen.
Seems odd but maybe post it on the OP forums instead of here, won't get them to fix it if they aren't aware of it...
Nope. Unable to reproduce.
