Screen lock

The lock keeps pocket presses from doing anything. It locks the screen only: messages still arrive, alarms still ring and the phone app still connects.

Locking and unlocking

Hold Back and press Enter three times within 3 seconds; the same locks and unlocks. With a CardKB, Fn+Esc does it in one press.

Settings › Display › Lock screen locks the device whenever the screen turns off by itself.

The lock screen has the status bar on top and one of two looks, set in Settings › Display › Lock clock:

  • Big: the time in large digits, the date, and how many messages are unread.
  • Compact: a smaller time with the date beside it, and the Clock page's fields as rows below (unread messages too, if no field shows them).

The key that wakes the screen does nothing else, so a glance shows the data. A key pressed on the lit lock screen brings up the unlock hint at the bottom for a few seconds; it counts the presses. On e-ink the hint stays up.

Note

Wio Tracker L2: with Lock screen on (Settings › Display), waking the screen shows a clock card with slide to unlock. Settings › Display › Tap to wake decides whether a tap wakes it or only the top button.

PIN

Settings › Display › Lock PIN adds a PIN to unlocking, asked also right after power-up.

  • Enter on the row opens a number pad. Type the PIN (at least 4 characters), confirm, then type it again. The pad's keyboard key switches to letters.
  • A wrong PIN shows how many tries are left; after 5 in a row, entry pauses for 30 seconds.
  • Enter on the row again removes the PIN.

The PIN is stored as a salted hash, never as the PIN itself.

Note

Wio Tracker L2: Settings › Display › Screen PIN, digits only. With a PIN, the lock card comes up every time the screen wakes, and the SD card isn't offered as a USB drive until it's unlocked.

Magnetic cover

A Hall or reed sensor wired to a free pin (PIN_HALL_SENSOR, see Build flags) locks and blanks the screen when a magnetic cover closes and unlocks it when it opens (asking for the PIN, if one is set).
