Option for 4-digit pin without Pressing OK, and Home Button

mikeandlisa1995 — Sat, 07 Mar 2026 15:23:36 GMT

Please give us the option to enter a four digit PIN without having to press the okay button. We had that before and it's a complete pain in the neck to have to either hit okay or enter a 6-digit pin.

Also please give us back the option of long pressing the home button and it automatically bring up Google without having to press the speaker button. Plus it works differently when you press the speaker button than when you press the on/off button to do the same thing. I enjoyed it with my S9 plus.

Thank you.

you can change the side button settings when you try to turn off your device or you can search for it in your phone settings. there's unfortunately no way to remove the ok in unlocking your phone with your pin or password without using 6 digits, but if you don't like it you're better off switching to pattern or something.

I'm used to 8 years of 4-digit and no OK. I get that it's less secure but that's what I prefer.

What's wrong with pressing the ok

I just prefer the less amount of taps to get into my phone. I guess the other question would be why do I need to be forced to press OK if I don't want to. I really didn't want to get into a debate with anyone about this. It's just a request I'd like Samsung to offer. For those who don't care either way, that's fine.

Guess locking the phone isn't first clue i.e steps you used to than unlock

A feature I've missed since trading in my s22U.

There actually is a way, but it requires a computer and using adb commands. That's how I removed the 6 digit requirement.
