Secure start up

[Oracle_79]

Hi, I have my lock screen activated on my G6,+ sim lock +secure start up. I have a complicated pattern swipe as a lock and I find when I switch on my phone I have to enter my pattern lock.. Sim pin.. Then pattern lock again. It's a hard pattern and sometimes takes me a few mins to get it right. If I switch off my secure start up & leave screen lock & pin only, I'll only have to enter my pattern once.. If i happen to lose my phone & a thief puts in his own sim before I can remotely disable it, will he be asked for the pattern lock? Or do I need to have secure start up activated for that?

Yeah on startup if you have sim pin you must enter that 1st, then pattern lock... Idk why but u can't use finger print on startup... 1st pin than pattern lock... Idk if you can disable that i think you can't

My swipe pattern comes first.. Then sim pin .. Then swipe pattern again. Seems like overkill. Which setting ensures it asks for a swipe pattern if a thief tries to put in his own sim?

It always goes swipe then pattern... It ensures because pattern lock is in phone settings not ur sim settings.

It is for security purposes. This way you can't be forced to put your finger on the phone to unlock from boot. It is meant to be something only you would know / have access to (your PIN or whichever).
