When I add an Exchange account to my phone, the device administrator that is forced by corporate policy disables the pattern lock option. It forces me to set a password or PIN, both of which I dislike. I came to the N6 from HTC One, where I used to get around this issue by installing an Xposed module to bypass Exchange security, and then set the pattern lock which at that point was optional. With the N6 we don't have Xposed yet, so I am wondering is there any other way to get the pattern lock as a possible option? I am rooted and have TWRP installed, running the latest 5.0.1 build.
Thanks

I used the password hack in the following thread to disable the password requirement set by the IT administrator for the goodlink software on my WM 5.0 phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=264020&page=2
However, I had to replace my phone and when I installed goodlink it was now version 5.0. Unfortunately this hack does not work as there is now box to uncheck for the password option. Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the password option or at least set it to something like 24 hours instead of 30 minutes for this new version of the Goodlink software? Any help would be appreciated.

Install screen lock bypass free android app. However its not recover your lost password, pattern, pin. It only skip lock-screen, but you can assess anything on your phone, including settings. If you uninstall the app its again start lock screen.

I use the native email app for my microsoft exchange work email, which requires a pin. is there a way to disable the pin and allow for fingerprint on the lockscreen?

I haven't gotten mine yet to check, but I'm going to assume that if Samsung disabled fingerprint for exchange security that there probably isn't a way to do so. IF (and this might be a big 'if' at this point) root is achieved, I'd venture to guess that an exchange security bypass would be developed allowing for the fingerprint security to work. One can hope, right?
I notice whenever you use the native email app you're always locked in with the Pin because it access my company's admin security. I haven't seen any other way to remove it even with root. But I hope! It's kind of silly because Samsung should know folks would be using microsoft exchange and why would it allow the pin to override the fingerprint?
After upgrading to Android 6 and doing a factory wipe on my Nexus 6 it now requires me to use pin or pass locks so that I can add my exchange email accounts. I never like this as I am always checking my phone so to keep entering a pin is a pain. If I go into Device Administrators I can disable email but it deleted the email accounts.
Is there anyway I can disable/remove the use of a pin to unlock the phone but still have my exchange email accounts? Why has this suddenly changed in Android 6, it wasn't a requirement when I was running Lollipop?
Turn on Smart Lock either with a bluetooth connection or a location.
I can't, smart lock is greyed out

It is a requirement set by who ever runs your Exchange system, that is what I do for a living. Why you didn't see in on lollipop I can't answer, perhaps they just turned it on in Exchange. But that seems like a heck of a coincidence that they did it at the same time you upgraded. Maybe you set it up before they added the requirement and your phone didn't see the change until you wiped it and reset it up. That would surprise me to. Dunno.
What I do is I use the Nine email app for my Exchange account, it allows you to set the Exchange pin requirement to just that app. It is also much better on battery than using the Gmail app.
I run the mail server so I can tell you that I know for sure I didn't change anything on it. The mail server is Kerio Connect not Exchange by Microsoft. That's really odd if you say it is the server which sets that security policy because as I said until I upgraded I didn't have to use a pin

Check the settings for the ActiveSync policy in Kerio and see if it is turned on. I just tested my Exchange server with 6. If I turn it off in Exchange the phone does not require a pin/password. As soon as I turn it back on it requires one.

I've checked the settings and there is nothing enabled. I tried installing Nine and it worked fine without a pin but my trial has now ended and I don't want to have to pay for an app that I didn't use to need
Set a simple pattern lock in Settings > Security. Then set the Automatically lock to 30 minutes and turn off Power button instantly locks. Go into Smartlock and add a trusted device, like bluetooth headset, smartwatch, or other bt device. And/or add one or more trusted places. If in a trusted place or using a trusted device, you won't have to unlock. Also, it won't lock for 30 minutes after you unlock it if you have had to. These steps have allowed me to almost never have to unlock with my pattern.
Does anyone find reactivation lock option under security on note 5?
I'm using SM-N9200.
+1 i cant find it
I did hard reset on my note 5 and when i was setting it up, i notice that it asked me for a gmail account use previously before the hard reset.
Also samsung didn't add reactivation lock to the note 5.
Has anyone notice the google reactivation lock on note 5?
Samsung took out the reactivation lock but as long as you are currently logged into a Gmail account your phone will ask you for that account info. Unfortunately at this time it is not bulletproof but I for think Samsung's was either.
No!!
How do I bypass it asking for the Gmail account info?
