Android personal unlocking will bypass security in ‘trusted environments’
Google wants to make it faster to unlock your Android device in trusted environments with a new feature called “personal unlocking.” For instance, if your Bluetooth watch is connected and nearby, you’ll be able to swipe open your home screen without an unlock code. If the watch is off, however, you’ll need to punch in the code. It also won’t challenge you for a code under certain conditions like your locations, and even by sound of your voice. That’s part of the new Material Design UI coming up for future versions of Android which you’ll see in the upcoming versions.
