Does anyone use it for when turning on your phone or restarting it? Does it really provide extra security?
 
I normally do but since I have LastPass set to monitor app logins it disabled it.
 
If my phone randomly reboots in the middle of the night, I'll miss my alarm because it'll be sitting at the PIN screen.

I don't use it for that reason.
 
I really think that having a pin or pattern for the phone and the secure folder on start up really defeats the purpose of biometric security.
 
I set the option to not require a pin, but a reboot still requires a pin...anyone else have that?
 
I tried the other option to require the pin. I get a whole different screen, but still need a pin to boot the phone. Didn't make any difference

I use it, just in the event I lose my phone, it's a brick to anyone who finds it and all of my info isn't touched.
