Secure folder doesn't autolock upon exit (Fold 7 / UI 8)

[dipst]

Hi all. New Fold 7 owner. When I exit Secure Folder back to home, I can reenter it without having to reauthenticate. Anybody who picked up my phone could just get straight into secure folder. I can find no setting to require reauthenticatation after leaving secure folder. On my Fold 5, it locked automatically after exiting. This issue completely compromises the security of a secure folder. It isn't practical to manually lock it every time before exiting since I frequently switch between apps inside and out of secure folder. Am I missing something or is this another Samsung issue?

EDIT I've just checked on my fold 5 and I can see that in the "auto lock secure folder"part of settings, on fold 5 you can set it to lock each time you leave an app whereas on fold 7 that option is no longer available... meaning that when you leave secure folder or an app, you or anybody on your fold 7 can get straight back into secure folder unless you have remember to manually lock it. This really is moronic and makes no sense at all. It won't be possible to remember to manually lock secure folder on the phone where you are constantly multitasking and it's only makes life harder and make the phone less secure. Please tell me it has been moved somewhere else but it really looks like the usual utterly moronic Samsung shenanigans. Assume this pointless stupid and unwelcome change is a feature of the updated software. Sorry for sounding so negative but this sort of thing is endlessly disappointing

Sounds great. Would you mind sharing it in this thread please? All the best

This is still in Alpha so cannot be shared in this thread. You need to join using your Google Play Account from Play Store.

Hi

Yes I know this

But since I updated my phone to OneUI 8

That option "Each time I leave an app" is removed. That's the problem

Bumping this thread for attention!

Samsung, please add this option back! This is a massive security risk and there's absolutely no logical and sane reason to have removed this as an option!

Hi everyone

This is a very serious problem.

please help me. I can no longer trust this application. I can say with certainty that one of the reasons for my purchase in relation to the Galaxy S24 Ultra was the same security folder software, which is now lost with the update to OneUI 8.0 and the security folder is no longer reliable. I ask Samsung developers to reactivate the option of "automatic locking each time i exit the secure  folder" option. PLEASE 🙏

Its  not only that they removed the lock option but you can see some settings outside. For example you can see that you have  messanger account set in thr "safe"

Imploring people in this chat is not going to resolve your problem. You need to Clchannel your energies into initiatives to reach the right person at Samsung

Is it possible for you to give step-by-step instructions on how to look into this solution rather than send you any personal details? I'd just rather look into it myself. Is there a link to this solution that I could read about please?

And there is another lovely feature you have the safe locked. From the regular files you choose to move some files to safe. You enter the paasword and files move. But now you can go directly to the safe without entering the password again

This used to be available in earlier versions of One UI, but in One UI 8.0, the option of "Lock each time I leave the app" has been removed, which is super annoying.
