Unable to set lock pin for Android apps requiring it

Xperia 10 II. And I think that the problem is not in SFOS core but in Android AppSuport

Yes. If you’re motivated you could flash sfos version 4.2.0.19 and set the android lock pin there and then update the system.

You can use an older version of Danske ID to circumvent this. This is what I do. I would also strongly suggest you 1-star rate the Danske ID with a complaint that the app requires the pin.

Open up Aurora and search for Danske ID. Once you open its store page, click the vertical ellipsis (⋮) menu and choose Manual download. Put in: 1690000023 and you’ll get version 1.6.2. This version does not have the pin requirement. After this, go back to the home screen of Aurora, then click the cog settings button in top right. Choose Blacklist manager, then make sure you check Danske ID. This will ensure you never accidentally update to pin-locked version of it.

For what it’s worth, my bank actually dropped the requirement for the Android lock PIN from their app once I pointed out to them that it was superfluous (they have their very own PIN). Apparently, the development team hadn’t even meant to introduce the Android PIN requirement - it came in as a side effect of a library update.

But you might want to contact the app developers directly, they might have more resources than SFOS. Worked for me.

Unfortunately, I have the same problem right now. What is particularly annoying is that they claim to require it as a protection of personal data, but in my opinion a notice would suffice (Mobile pass authentication | Interrail.eu). Have you also contacted the manufacturer and asked them to remove the requirement for a lock code? If enough users get in touch, they might change it at some point.

Same for Yale Home app, which is used to unlock door at home. To unlock door, it requires pin, face or any other extra security behaviour which is “not set” in Sailfish. I am running C2 och 5.x.x.67

The same problem with Cl@ve, a Spanish app used by the “Agencia Tributaria” to validate the user in government procedures.

I don’t believe this version of sfos can be installed on Xperia 10 iii. First version supported was 4.4

Yes, the replied-to post did specify the X10 II though.
