Recently I discovered that my lock screen can be unlocked simply by swiping the screen. This is surprising because I have it set to be unlocked only with a PIN or my fingerprints. I don't know how long it has been like this, but I know it used to work properly in the past. I tried changing the security settings to swipe, then back again to PIN, but this didn't work. Anyone familiar with this issue and how to fix it?

Welcome to the forums. Do you have a trusted device or location set up?

[Doc Grimmy]

Thank you. No, I do not have a trusted device or location. I checked just to make sure, but I've never set one up because I prefer to have my phone secure at all times.

Does it happen everywhere?

Could it be the on-body detection?

Well, I figured out what happened. It turns out I had a trusted device (my watch), but I don't recall setting this up and I didn't notice it earlier when I checked my settings. I must have forgotten that I did this. I discovered it this morning, while my watch was charging and I had my phone in another room; the lock screen required my PIN or fingerprint until I brought it closer to my watch. Thanks everyone for your help!
