Objective
- To remove the need to input a PIN, Password, or Pattern to start a Moto G5 Plus before the lock screen displays
Environment
- Moto G5 Plus
- Start-up security enabled
Procedure
- Tap Settings
- Tap Security
- Tap Screen Lock
- Input existing security method (PIN, Pattern, Passcode)
- Tap None to remove device protection (temporarily)
- Tap Yes, Remove to confirm
- Tap Screen Lock
- Select your screen lock method
- Tap No Thanks when prompted to secure start-up
- Continue with setting up the screen lock method
Additional Notes
When you remove the device protection, if a fingerprint was already added for security it will be removed. This can be re-added after step 10 above.
The start-up security would prevent all notifications and the lock picture from being visible. Removing this feature would allow the lock screen to be visible when the phone is powered on.
