Lock screen and OK button

[glamoursugar]

I followed the steps :

Go to settings.

Select 'lock screen.

Screen lock type.

Enter your 4 or more digit pin.

Select PIN.

Enter 4 or more digit pin again (you'll need a 6 digit or more pin to see the box ref not needing to press ok)

Make sure 'confirm pin without tapping OK is checked. 

............................... 

This only works when I enter 6 digit code and not 4 as I usually do. I do use fingerprint but will be putting tempered glass screen protector soon and I will need to use the code, having to tap ok every time it's really frustrating. Is there a glitch or something?

Hey there

No glitch. This is by design.

If you don't want to press ok, you need to have a 6 digit minimum pin.

😒 Thanks, this is an unnecessary thing, I hope it gets updated

[Piper123]

It is a security thing. Encouraging users to improve their own security.

How is pressing OK at the end of a 4-digit pin enhancing security? And forcing people to use a 6-digit pin will just push people to select "swipe" or "none".

[Piper123]

Simply because it encourages the use of longer pin choices.

Agree? Don't agree? Your call.

But Samsung have done it for good reason to protect your device.

Suddenly? After all these years!

[Piper123]

Yes as the risks grow by the day. Tech is moving rapidly.

So yes after all these years. That's why many companies now require passwords to include a special character. Yes after all these years.

The list goes on......

What, exactly, has facilitated this change please? Is it just an update or OneUI 6.1 specific perhaps? The reason for my question is that I don't appear to have the same issue on my S21 Ultra which recently updated to 6.1?

Why SAMSUNG don't think that the member know the risk of use 4 digit and accept that risk. Do SAMSUNG make VOC before do this thing or not. In my opinion, many member know that risk and they accept its. Now, i'm not sure in my decision that i choose SAMSUNG between SAMSUNG S24 and IPhone 15 in 2 week ago is right or not. One choice that I selected SAMSUNG because i'm use this brand for long time in Note series and I don't want to change my ecology although they have a problem with their high temperature in every Note series that i use.  SAMGSUNG S24, i'm not impression in their pen that is not  sensitive well when use the cover  film. And now i found this problem. If i know this before i will reduce 1 point of SUMSUNG brand in my BSC.
