Anyone notice they don't have the option to not need to press the OK or enter when entering your screen lock PIN? Am I missing that somewhere?

Note that you would need to un-check, then re-check the box for this to work, and the option will disappear when you remove the extra digits, but will still work.

Note as well that as soon as you power off or restart your device, you will need to click on OK after typing in your 4 digits, so would have to go through this again after every reboot.

Final Note: This change was implemented by Google for Android 14.

You only need to click okay the first time after you reboot. You don't need to redo the setting after every reboot.

I freaked out after the first one, and went back to a 6 digit, thanks so much for the info I will have to try it and see.  I am not used to 6 digits yet, and do not want to be forced to be!

Awesome!  Thanks!  I had it require the OK, so thought it was broke, but I just tested what you said, and it is 100% true, have to hit ok the FIRST time after a reboot, and is back to not needing the OK after that!  Thank you SOOOOOOO much! (can't stand a 6-digit pin)

Your what used to be there?  The check box to allow you to not need to press OK?  With new Android 14, the option is not available until you have a minimum of 6 digits as your PIN.

I tried on 24+. It doesn't give the option to check on or off with 6 digit or 4. Anyone else find a solution 🤔? Thanks
