I have an Acer Iconia One 10.

I am sick of having to login everytime my tablet goes to sleep or I turn it off.

I never take it away from home and I live alone, so there is no worry about anything being stolen from it.

I want NO security or login features at all.

But apparantely the tablet insists I use it. I have been unable to remove the login requirement.

Although I did successfully remove the option for Google to "ERASE MY TABLET IS SUSPECTED STOLEN".

No thanks, I don't want my tablet fully erased because I entered the wrong password too many times!

 

So, how do I completely remove all security login requirements, even the finger swipes.

I want to turn it on, and have it ready for use.

Thanks.

    I logged into Norton and had the website remove the login feature!

    They have thst setting for safety purposes, incase I were to forget my login.

    Sorry my reply is so late. I lve in California and have had a lot of power outages.

     

    I tried several times but none is faded out and I cannot choose it.

    My tablet is the B3 A20.

    What do I do now?  I do NOT want to do factory reset.

    Settings/security/Device administrator - deactivate everything here (tap on the listed item and then tap on deactive)

    Settings/Security - Clear Credentials

     

    then try to set screen lock as you need.

    In Device Admin, nothing was checked. I definately do NOT want an app or the device to erase my stuff.

    In Clear Credentials, it asks if I want to "remove all contents?".

    Is that pop up asking if I want to erase my tablet?

    Ok. Did it.

    Turned off tablet.Turned back on and...   Had to still login.

    Strange, the password requirement isn't from Norton, I checked and I would have to pay for it.

    That is just Norton telling me my device is secure. I push the padlock UP and enter my password.Still.

    Ugh.

    Ok, so it's Norton blocking the none setting on screen lock.
    Uninstall it.

    I do not have the Norton password screen lock even set up. It costs extra, and I don't want to have a password.

    I have checked my Norton program. When I check the screen lock safety password, it asks me to set one up.

    I understand but Norton is managing the security settings and it's blocking the non setting.

    How does that even happen?

    I didn't activate any of this...

    Just lucky that it was one of my favorite passwords.

    I will call Norton Monday. Let you know.
