Samsung Galaxy S2 Password Security Flaw Work Around

[AtenThePreacher]

@702tubeDude the video explains that. It is a flaw though, if the password screen comes up it should require successful entry of the password. If the settings are not configured correctly it does not. It is easy to fix, but still it is a bug. I used the term flaw to ensure people would see this along with the hyperbolic articles back when this came out.

That is not a flaw, all it has to do with is the settings

You didn't watch the video or read the discription did you?

It is a minor "flaw" because if the password screen comes up it should require successful entry of the password to continue.

As you said, it is very simple to fix, which is the main point of the video.

Its not a Flaw, by default "The screen unlock timeout" is set to 5min. If you set it to Immediately lock you will not have this issue.

No problem youngboy, glad it was helpful.

In this context, timeout is when the screen goes into sleep mode. The setting that is specifically at issue here is called "timeout," but actually refers to the time delay for application of the password screen following a timeout.
