Setting When to Keep the Device Automatically Unlocked
You can set Smart Lock to keep your device unlocked using the following settings:
•
Trusted devices – keep your device unlocked when a trusted Bluetooth® device is
connected.
•
Trusted places – keep your device unlocked when you're in a trusted location.
•
On-body detection – Keep your device unlocked when you're carrying your device with
you.
You have to manually unlock your device when you don't use it for 4 hours and after you
restart it.
Connecting to Trusted Bluetooth® Devices
You can designate a connected Bluetooth® device as a "trusted" device and keep your
Xperia™ device unlocked while it's connected to it. So if you have Bluetooth® devices
you connect to regularly, for example, a car speaker or home entertainment system, a
Bluetooth® watch, or a fitness tracker, you can add them as trusted devices and bypass
the added security of a lockscreen to save time. This feature is suitable if you're normally
in a relatively secure place when you use these devices. In some cases, you may still
need to manually unlock your device before a trusted device can be connected.
It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as trusted
devices, for example, Bluetooth® keyboards or cases.
As soon as a trusted Bluetooth® device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen
locks and you need your PIN, pattern, or password to unlock it.
To Add a Trusted Bluetooth® Device
1
Make sure your device is paired and connected to the Bluetooth® device you
want to add as a trusted device.
2
In the Smart Lock menu, tap Trusted devices.
3
Tap Add trusted device > Bluetooth.
4
Tap a device name to select it from the list of connected devices. Only paired
devices appear in this list.
5
Depending on the security of your connection, you may need to manually unlock
your device before the trusted device can keep it unlocked.
To Remove a Trusted Bluetooth® Device
1
From your Home screen, tap
2
Find and tap Settings > Security > Smart Lock > Trusted devices.
3
Tap the device you want to remove.
4
Tap Remove trusted device.
Making Sure You're Secure when Using Trusted Devices
Different Bluetooth® devices support different Bluetooth® standards and security
capabilities. There's a chance someone could keep your Xperia™ device unlocked by
imitating your Bluetooth® connection, even if your trusted device is no longer nearby.
Your device is not always able to determine whether your connection is secure from
someone trying to imitate it.
