Confirm pin without tapping Ok

[DarthSmoggie]

Whis bright idea was it lengthen it to 6 digits rather than 4? 

This is utter utter BS by Samsung, bring it back to 4 digits rather than 6, I'm sick of this 💩

Surprised you use a pin when the fingerprint reader is so good, that combined with face unlock ...the pattern unlock is surely more convenient than a pin

Hi and warm welcome 👋

1. type 6 digits
2. You'll see the option "confirm pin without typing ok".
3. Select this option
4. Delete the last 2 digits
5. Click Continue
6. Re-type the 4 digits
7. Ok

Or lockscreen and AOD > screen lock type > enter pin> pin > enter pin > should see option "confirm pin without OK" press on it> enter the new pin

The pin is still 4 digits, not sure why have 6

[DarthSmoggie]

Doesn't work on either the S23 Ultra or S25 Ultra

Point is that with 4 digits you didn't have to press ok to unlock the phone, Samsung removed this, and now you need a 6 digits pin to get the option to confirm the pin with out tapping ok, I mean talk about going backwards, it's the same when they removed the 3 gestures at the bottom of the screen

They removed that years ago, why complain now?

Also if you just have to press OK after 4 numbers, why make a 6 pin if you only need 5 presses with 4?

If I'm honest I don't even know when Samsung auto unlocked after a 4 pin input and I'm talking about phones as far back as the S8+ 8 years ago.

[DarthSmoggie]

Because I use the same passcode for the previous phone for the new phone I get, and its not as easy to remeber a new passcode, and they removed it in the last UI update

Also for some of us, it was easier to enter a 4 digits passcode and for it to unlock without having to press the ok to unlock the phone, now they're just coping Apple as their iPhone auto unlock after a 6 digits passcode.

So why change something that a lot of users didn't ask for

[Joeeye]

It's nothing new I've seen. You need to press OK after pin entry on all Samsung devices, at least all the ones I've used in the last 8 years.

Not on the S21+ and then on the S23 Ultra, which both had the option to confirm the pin without tapping ok after entering a 4 digit passcode, until the UI 6.1.1 update, also the A22 5G has this option as well
