Forma Disable Swipe to Unlock?

[Thargor]

I managed to disable swipe to unlock years ago on my Forma but its back after a recent factory reset, I have searched and searched but cant find it again, does anyone know how to do it or is it not possible on the most recent FW?

Try a search for UnlockEnabled (or actually UnlockEnabeled)

And agreed this was very popular when it first came out in FW back in 2018! I loved it, loved to hate it that is

I don't see any setting in the UI for it on my Forma, at least not in the Energy Saving and Privacy settings page, which is where I would expect it to be.

I don't patch for this or use the conf file fix either one and never see this anymore so it sure seems to be less intrusive as you say. I do have the sleep cover so shouldn't see it anyway but if I do disable the sleep cover function in the UI I still don't see the swipe to unlock screen on my Forma but I likely don't remember the details in how to make it happen. I hated it when it was introduced but that was three years ago and my memory isn't what it used to be.

One of the updates changed it so it was less intrusive. But, I thought an option to turn it off was added. I don't have a Forma near me to check. There is an option for the config file "UnlockEnabled" to turn it off. Or turn it in on other devices. I don't remember if it is in the UI on the Forma.
