Question Lock screen not wanted

[Mr P Howells]

My friend does not want to have to unlock phone all day long but wants to be able to use his saved passwords. My friend uses his phone for business and gets many many calls while working and driving. Biometric finger print isn't useable with dirty hands and entering his pin while busy out side the truck isn't the best way to not get hurt. I turned off his lock screen but now he doesn't have access to passwords with just a pin#. I would install Norton password manage but that is crap and doesn't popup to fill in your logins. Is there a password manager that actually does what is needed without having to open the app find the stored information to copy and paste. Thank You

Welcome to Android Central! Answering calls would not require unlocking -- is that what he's primarily concerned about?

Which phone does he have? If it supports Face Unlock, has he given that a try?

It would be highly inadvisable to have no lockscreen at all, especially on a device being used in public at a workplace. All it takes is a momentary lapse for him to lose his phone, and then have anyone pick it up to gain access to much of his sensitive info. These days, almost our entire lives are on our phones, so there's a lot at stake here.

What phone is this that we're talking about? Some phone makers have built in ways to keep devices unlocked for extended periods. Samsung has SmartLock, Pixel has Extend Lock, just to name a couple but others have similar. These features allow users to keep their devices unlocked for extended periods where they don't have to enter unlock pins or codes to access their devices. Often these features work from location or if specific trusted bluetooth devices are connected to the phone. I've only used Samsung's but when enabled it can stay unlocked for hours if used regularly. If set aside for an extended period it will revert to locked.

See if your friend's phone has one of these features. Search, extended unlock (phone make and model) and Google will tell you what it is, how to enable it and set it up.
