Locale Password Lock Plug-in for Android
You can also set a password delay so the password is not needed if you unlock your phone within the configurable time.
* Disable device administrator before uninstall
* You cannot override another device administrator that requests a password (like a corporate Exchange)
* Does not work with lock pattern.
* 15 minutes refund policy is too short to test this app. You can refund this app any time by sending me you order id by e-mail.
Note: This is a plug-in, it requires Locale or Tasker from the Market. If you don't have one of those apps, you can download my other app "Password Delay" for just the delay option.
Exactly what I needed...locked by default, but unlocked at home!... Stopped working since Android 5.1
I don't know if it just doesn't work with Android 5.1, or if there are other issues, but the dev hasn't responded to email requests for help. When first installed, it wouldn't turn the password off. After a phone restart, the password was off and the plugin won't turn it back on.
Admin rights are jacked on 5.0 lollipop Moto X. Installed and it never worked right...too late to get refund
Very handy plug-in to Locale. Worked 99% of the time, but now with the Android 5.0 update it is not functioning properly. Hopefully an update will be issued shortly.
Just what I was looking for!
Galaxy S2 with Tasker - still seems a bit erratic
Like patterns
Wish it supported lock pattern as well
I have Tasker, but despite a couple of hours of frustration, I can find no way to make this work or any documentation whatsoever.
This is exactly what I needed! I would like to see a log which can be queried on when a pass was set and reset and for what reason.
I tested before I closed Tasker. It didn't save my password, so no pasword would work. That sucked. Now I can't lock my phone until I reflash.
Perfect for delaying password lock to an hour of standby.
Allows me to unlock potential of lockscreen gestures on Cyanogen mod.
Id need the other lockers too, password is too fiddley to type.
Works as advertised. N1 running stock froyo. Using it with tasker for more intelligent locking scheme.
Works great, five stars if the other password lockscreens were also available
This did not work at all on my Nexus One running Froyo
Works great. Worth the cost. Running on Droid with Froyo.
Fantastic! Finally able to have a pin lock delay, using with Tasker on stock N1 with Froyo
Doesn't seem to work with lock pattern: -(
Wish it could still do the lock pattern.
I've used this for several years with both Tasker and Locale, it works great. Alternative to "Secure Settings"
The locale plugin loses the fact it is licensed every few days and doesn't work until you go and modify it - then it's fine for some more days.
I use this with Tasker to have slide unlock on home wifi, in car dock and when connected to my blue tooth headset. All other times i have pin code.
I use this with Tasker so my phone is unlocked at home, but locked when I'm out and about. Works great!

Tasker can use this plugin to set or reset the system PIN protection. Another nice feature of this plugin is the delay. From Instant PIN protection up to 6 hours delay.
I run gotya so I want my lock to stay active, and only change the delay to lock. So I set a "state" in Tasker for logged on to home wifi. then set a task, pick this plugin and click edit, enter my code twice, set 30 minutes delay. for the exit task do the same and set 5 minutes delay. only thing I notice is the first time at home I need to unlock but thereafter I only use swipe screen unless its over 30 minutes. Most important to me it sets the delay back to 5 minutes when away from home the first time. Super cool!!
Could be better to have unlock logic like in Unlock With WiFi, i.e. when a unlock situation is reached to ask for a PW one time and then unloch without PW until unlock situation ends. Also I suspect that the plugin caused instability on my Galaxy S which forced me to perform factory reset.
Have it to work on any device. In addition, it remains even after an uninstall. About the only way to get it to be removed will be to reset the device. Have yet to get this app to be successful even on a dual core phone.
And there is no way to uninstall and I can't even get it to deactivate
Does not work with 'lookout' app.
This does not work. I have been trying to get developer to help but won't respond.
Exactly what I needed...locked by default, but unlocked at home!
Dev puts out sw product with malware embedded.
It works with locale but not with tasker.
Doesn't work on ICS
App does exactly what I needed and developer is extremely supportive.
Exactly what I was looking for, there is one issue I am having (Password doesn't enable immediately upon situation switch, unlocked until I lock it, the asks for password after that.) and have e-mailed the developer about once this is fixed I will award the fifth star. Galaxy Note 3, Android 4.3
