Hello everyone, I'm a newbie to the OnePlus world.
So my question is: how can I disable the password that is required before android is launched on my OnePlus 3 ?
I've searched accross xda but I found nothing, sorry if this has already been answered.
In the beginning I found it very useful, but once I removed Google Keyboard, I was not able to enter that password.
I want to use a modded google keyboard (with number row), and on the xda thread, the dev ask to remove the defaut Google Keyboard.
Regards.
Go into Settings > Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and remove it (choose None).
Once the device is set to none, go back into Settings >Security & fingerprint > Screen lock and choose PIN. It will ask you here if you want secure boot (enter a PIN to start device) or not use it. Just choose the latter.
EDIT: If you have fingerprint set up, you will lose it during this process
Another option is to just switch between password, pin or pattern. You still get the option of not to set on boot, but this prevents the fingerprints to get deleted as they do when switching to swipe or none.
Thanks guys the problem is now solved, I've selected PIN with NONE as option for boot.
I can't do anything else because would like to remove the google keyboard.
To do so you will need to wipe your /data but its possible through twrp for excample. Simply after hard reset chose not to require password after boot
I'm confused as to why Google Keyboard is required for entering a password. Can't you just set your other keyboard to be the default?

I set up the encryption with a lock screen password, so now Ihave to put in a password every time I unlock the screen.
I don't want a password anymore. So I go into the security options and it still acts as though the device doesn't have a password. All the options are grayed out except the one for setting up a password, the same as it did the first time I set up the password.
Is there a fix for this?
Remove encryption. If you have Xposed, there are a couple modules that work for it.
I just rooted my brand new 1+3 and put CM13 on it, with TWRP recovery. I haven't set any sort of screen guard or fingerprint yet, since I'm not sure if that will end up encrypting the disk as well.
I've seen other posts about how people could not use the recovery because it prompted for a password - and typing the PIN didn't work for them. I have already taken a nandroid backup of the original OxygenOS, and saved it elsewhere (i.e. not on the phone). So if I go ahead and set a password, will it cause any problems later, if I have to use the recovery? Is it better to stick to a PIN instead of the pattern lock?
Edit - now when I go into recovery, the log says 'successfully decrypted with default password'. What's this default password? If I set a screen PIN, will it change to the PIN, or is it something else? Will setting the PIN/fingerprint prevent me from mounting data as I can now?
I have not used the password to the type of pattern, but suddenly twrp ask for the type of pattern, so I can not decrypt the data from sdcard, please help

You have a pattern protection on your device, and you set the pattern you have selected to ask you for pattern when you start your phone up, reboot to system and remove pattern lock and then you should be fine...
Next time when you set an pattern select no thanks option as shown in the screenshot.
Ditto
If there's a pattern, it usually means you've got a pattern lock. Use the same pattern and it'll be locked.
Just use the same pattern that you use if you startup you're Android device. When you have no pattern, go to settings > locksreen > then remove pattern if not done already > set new pattern > there will popup a messege asking is you want to use a start-up password (or something like that) > No thanks. Should work now.
It is a good idea to have some security on the recovery but the interface is dodgy. It normally takes 2-3 tries because the screen can't seem to keep the touch and drag registered nicely.
See if this helps. This will remove whatever password you have set on your device.
Hey guys,
I have always had my op3 encrypted and I've become used to always entering the pin when booting up, accessing twrp etc. but today when I rebooted into twrp I didn't have to enter any pin to use twrp. When booting up the system I didn't have to enter a pin either.
When I check the settings under Security & Fingerprint it looks as in the attached screenshot, I don't have any options to decrypt or anything either
I'm running OOS 4.1.3, FrancoKernel #23 , Magisk 12, twrp-3.1.0-x_blu_spark_v27.
Is this something that anyone has experienced and know how to fix?
I want to keep my encryption but then, of course, you should have to use the pin.
Cheers!
Then the pin is defaulted and thus you don't need any. I don't need one, too and never did, but all is encrypted (Even locked down with a pin on bootup and fingerprint otherwise)
I believe this is an option you need to setup during the wizard when you initially set up the device. It asks you whether you want to require a pin on startup or not.
But, you can also turn this on by going to settings>security>screen lock.
From there, you click on the area where it says PIN. Confirm your pin, then click PIN again, and there should be an option to require pin for startup. Other than that, you are still encrypted, but it is all bypassed in order for quicker startup.

Ah that was it! it had somehow disabled itself, simply going in and enabling "require pin to start device" solved it.
Thanks!
Try removing the lock screen password and setting it up again and it will be back again in twrp.?
Hello,
I accidentally replaced my encryption password with the default encryption. Does anyone know if I can set my own one again?
I tried out "Macrodroid" with the goal to automatically enable and disable airplane mode and while trying out different things (bound to fingerprint gestures) it asked me for accessibility access which I allowed but then it (the accessibility settings page) asked for my password and said it was needed since accessibility is also related to encryption state or so. But I didn't enter my password and clicked on cancel, I don't know the app that well so I didn't want to give it access over my encryption.
My theory is now that it replaced my encryption password with the default one then because it didn't ask me again for my encryption password when I de- and reactivated accessibility.
I uninstalled the app then and use "Auto Airplane mode" now. I checked with "Sd-maid" for any leftovers and then rebooted and it didn't ask me for my password, I just straight booted into system. (Device is still encrypted but with standard password.)
Booted into twrp and it was able to surpass encryption, went straight to main twrp menu.
Is there any option to manually set the encryption password?
I think if I flash "disable-force-encrypt" again (like I did while installing my phone) I would have to format data, too in order to remove encryption and re-set it in system settings, or not?
My last option before totally reinstalling the ROM would be to restore a nandroid backup from after I installed it the first time.
