https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S23/Secure-folder-password-integrated-with-phone/m-p/3435939#M80109 <P>After UI 8 update, my secure folder which has its own independent password from my phone (I didn't set a password for my phone currently), now has an "integrated password" with my phone - meaning, when I set the password for secure folder, it also sets the same password for my phone.&nbsp;</P><P>When opening up secure folder after the update, a screen showed up saying "Set secure screen lock first - To use Secure Folder, you first need to set a pin, password or pattern for your PHONE in Settings."</P><P>I don't wish to have a password for my phone. This issue wasn't there before the update and passwords are always independent.&nbsp;</P> Fri, 19 Dec 2025 01:04:16 GMT calcifer1 2025-12-19T01:04:16Z
