Question Solved: Avoid typing password when unfolding flip phone

[yong321]

I use a Motorola razr 2024 flip phone, running Android 14. I set my screen to lock after 2 minutes of idle time. But whenever I fold and unfold the phone, I'm prompted to enter my password, well within 2 minutes. I can't find the place to disable this quick locking in the Settings. Thanks for help!

Not sure if there's similar options on the Razr (checking on a Samsung phone), but on mine those options are in "Secure Lock Settings" and have the option to set whether the power button and/or turning off the screen locks the screen automatically or not.

Thank you! I checked again. Didn't find Secure Lock Settings or anything that sounds like it.

What about in the area where you get to set the screen timeout?

Other than time out minutes, on this screen, I can also set Attentive display. There's nothing else.

Solved! I have to go to Settings - Security & privacy - Device unlock - Screen lock (the gear icon, not the words) - Power button instantly locks. Turn that off. In fact, I realize folding the phone is equivalent to pressing the power button.

By default, I can flip open the phone without being prompted to enter my passeord <5 seconds after I fold it. I can change the time to a longer time on this screen, under Lock after screen timeout, which is 5 seconds by default. This setting is independent of the 2 min setting under Display - Screen timeout.

Glad you got it resolved!
