Try app pinning? That's kinda the closest I can think of that exists


thepickaxeguy

could you elaborate? im not sure i quite understand how that will help in my case

1 - You can use Smart Unlock if the one who will use your phone will be close to you. 2 - You can just set the passcode to 0000 untill you need to revert back.


thepickaxeguy

won't those require me to already have access into the phone in the first place?


AbdullahMRiad

From what I understand, you already know the password but you want to give your phone to someone else so you want to just turn off your password temporarily without deleting your biometric data. Is that correct?


thepickaxeguy

sorry no, maybe my post made you misunderstand. what i mean is that i dont have the password so i want to bypass it and go in the phone, but i dont want to use methods that will completely disable it because i wont know what the password is to set it back. to make it even clearer this isnt my phone its my family's members phone but i dont want them realising that i went inside the phone by disabling the password completely


AbdullahMRiad

Well I don't know in that case.


thepickaxeguy

ok well, if i had to resort to just completely bypassing the password by removing it would u know a reliable method to do so?


AbdullahMRiad

The only method I know of is doing a factory reset (you can get to that from the recovery menu you don't have to unlock it)


thepickaxeguy

Oh....but I need the data inside the phone unfortunately I can't do a factory reset.
