Again I think there is a misunderstanding here.. let me try to rephrase.
Android Pay - by default - does not ask me for my password/pin/pattern in order to make a purchase. All that is required to tap-and-pay is that I wake the phone by pressing the home key or power button. So why does Android Pay require a lockscreen when there are no security prompts to make a purchase?
I'm not asking about the general rationale for using a lockscreen or the levels of security that different lockscreens provide. I'm simply asking why does an app require the user to enable security measures that are then not used by that app? And since the security measure seems useless in this case, is there a way to disable it and still use Android Pay? Because that is effectively how it works on my phones already (Galaxy S7 and S8).
