Picture Password assistance

[Trisk333]

I set up a picture password. Seemed easy enough. However, once I set it, I no longer get a lock screen at all. It just wakes the phone to homescreen now. If I go back into settings and security it shows that I have picture set up for screen lock. Now if I tap that to change settings, I get prompted with my picture password which is fine but I don't understand why I don't get this when I wake the phone. Any ideas?

See if under settings / security if the option to lock once the power button is pressed is on. If it's off the the phone will just suspend and unless the time off is met it will not lock.

You're right, it was set to ten minutes. Probably didn't notice it because I rarely lock my phone with a password but decided to give it a go being the Priv and all. Big thanks!

Well I can see why picture password is more secure. It takes me multiple times to unlock my phone and twice dangerously close to locking myself out and I know where my "spot" is. My fingers just never seem to register in the right spot when I tap on touch screens and part of the reason I need a PKB

Trisk, you don't have to put your finger on your selected spot. You can put your finger anywhere and then see where your number lines up on the spot you selected.

hahaha wow. I was doing that way wrong then because trying to see the 'exact' spot with your finger over it is just plain hard.

I think this has been tripping a lot of folks up...
