If you use your Fingerprint-Sensor, you need also a password for it, right?
And after every 3 Days - my phone says i need to enter my password again.

Don't use password..
I don't think there is a way to disable it. Just use a pin to make your life easy.

Thats also on oneplus phones, at 2-3 days as well. Is just simply a security measure for some of us which are bad at remembering passwords/pins. I think this is a very good thing to not forget your passwords or pins

Or you could use a keepass data base ^^
Big mistake buying this phone. Don't buy this phone. Ridiculous we cannot eliminate this pin code when we already use fingerprint protection.

First, know this. You can remove the password, however, you will also remove all other protection, like fingerprint id. etc. I find this very suspicious.
Go to settings - Security & privacy - Screen lock & passwords - Password
Enter your password
Go to password > and enter None
You now have zero protection
I seriously think that it should be possible to disable the "forced" 3-day password/pin code while still having the fingerprint reader security and possibility to unlock using the password/pin code.
The 3-day forced password/pin HAS to be optional.

Change the password to a more easy one...

To not have to be surprised when your phone ask it? Why put a password if you do not want to use it? I have the same kind of password, and enter them for every account I have on the web, each different, not a big problem with a physical keyboard cause a 16 letter/digit/symbol password can be done in less than 5sec. But for the phone, a gesture pin with the path set to invisible do the thing, you can do pretty f*cked up gesture rather than just un L or a W like majority of people do. And not be bothered when asked the pass. Finger print is not a secure way to unlock the phone anyway (it whould just be a authentification, not a pass), so putting a strong password as not real meaning here.
All that drama....just use 1234 pin and make your life easier
What if I have a medical emergency and I am not able to type any password? I just want to put my finger and then touch the icon of my medical care.
Is this something that only happens on this particular build??? My mate 10 (non-pro) has never done what you are saying here? I use a fingerprint for access with a PIN to unlock on boot up, but I have never been asked for a PIN/Password every three days. Now my phone has not yet received Pie...so I am not sure if that is the cause. Someone also said in a previous post that this happens on OnePlus also??? I have a brand new OnePlus 6 (not T) running on Pie and this does not happen on this phone either? Something is not right here.
I have the same thing both on Oreo and on Pie, it's maybe region related but not big deal for me.
damn what you are you hiding in that phone with this kinda password??? nuclear launch codes??
give yourself a break.
anyways ...good post.... looking forward for a solution. good day
this is nothing special to huawei,
it came from the google nexus smartphones:

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for the best anti theft app for the Atrix. I've seen many posts about this but none of them gave enough information. Which one has a web interface with user and password not just using SMS? Does it work outside the US?
Regards
Prey is a good one. I'm using it now.
hmm anti-theft I serious doubt that there is a app that is truly anti-theft since this is a phone after all..best any app can do is aid in the recovery of a stolen device if Im incorrect please enlighten me on how a app can stop someone from phone jacking you

Why not do the easy thing and secure it with the software provided.
1) Use the fingerprint scanner
2) create a ridiculously long and hard to remember pin that only you know and is so damn hard to remember that even you might forget it.
3) Turn on your GPS and use the Motoblur tracking software (works like MobileME and always tracks me within a few feet.
Those three items alone will make your phone impossible to get into, and make it easy as hell to find it if it is stolen.
I'll try Prey and of course secure the phone. The thing is that i can't use motoblur tracking cause i freezed it. I cant stand MotoBlur!
Thanks!

Unfreeze motoblur, do not use the accounts feature (social networks and what not) remove all the widgets and change the wallpaper to pure black. This way you can keep the motoblur active while using a different home launcher and still get the benefits.
please can anyone help me i forgot my lock screen password it's the numerical password and i can't access my data.
please how can i bypass it or get back into my phone. I really need my data i can't live without them.
P.S: still on stock rom the phone is not rooted.
keep enter the wrong password a few more times then the google password screen will pop up allowing yo to by-pass the lock screen.
once you have access to your phone change the password to something you will remember or write down for the future and put is somewher safe.

^^ This.
Plus, next time use proper topic title that gives a description of topic for people browsing forum. This gives people an idea of what topic is about at a glance and you're likely to get more views and possibly more help. Leaving idiotic titles like "helpp neededd" and "hlp plz" and "help me" etc are generic non-descriptive titles and frankly an insult to forum.

thank you in advance.
Hello, Has anyone tried to encrypt their device? Do you know if you can use fingerprint access to sign it or are you stuck with a crazy long password with a compulsory symbol?
I am trying to link my email to my phone which sends patient sensitive information so its quite confidential. My previous devices (IOS) just required a 4 digit pin and I had to change that every month, but pin cant be any of the previous 3. that was bearable because i used 1111,2222,3333,5555....
can anyone offer any advice? I dont think I'm too keen on rooting (i dont even know what that is....)
Thanks

I got Carbon successfully installed and love it! But one thing I miss is how easy it is to stop users from browsing my private data when I hand my phone over to them (Emui Privacy Protection, google (in quotes) Hide Your Contact, Album and App)
I figure with Carbon the closest equivalent is the guest account?
If it isn't, please clue me in, but if it is, my phone is limited to one user account when I can't force fw.max_users=4 to stick.
pm get-max-users keeps going back to 1 after every reboot.
Does anyone know of an alternative locking functionality to that emui awesomeness I had before? Or is there a way to make guest work?
Sorry to make y'all google above, I'm a newbie and am not allowed to add url's to this post

The URL that comes up when you google "Hide Your Contact, Album and App" is too long to do that, but it comes up instantly with the exact results that I'd paste anyway.
I just wanted to illustrate the feature that I am missing and wish I could make work in Carbon. Thinking about reverting to emui just for that feature, but if I did that I'd feel so inadequate, having worked so hard to get twrp and carbon installed.
Dual Boot:

You can have multiple ROMs at once. Highly recommended by me .

Yeah, what I need though is more like what's available in the emui stock os, where you can lock your phone, unlock it with an alternate pin, and the temporary user can't open any but the apps you specify.
Rebooting to a separate rom is too much trouble for handing the phone off for 30 secs.
Have you seen the emui privacy protection feature? Pretty cool.
I'll probably just use screen pinning; not quite as good, but it works.
You could use stock ROM most of the time when you know you might have to share the phone, and make Carbon your secondary to use only when you won't be likely to need to share phone.

That would be one solution.
Since I posted this two days ago, I've experiment with the screen pinning tool, and also I DID successfully add another user account, so switching users should be a good solution.
You'll have to forgive me; I work in IT Security. One just doesn't hand over one's information to another user!!
Isn't there a Carbon thread. Maybe ask Carbon questions in there.
There are app lockers out there like this. What you do is choose an app you want to lock (for example, Gallery) and then you choose when to lock it and how to unlock it.
Does anyone uses the work profile? cause everytime that i update the EMUI, the work profile stops recognize the security pattern. Last night before i update, i just changed to PIN number to test, same thing... it keeps telling me that the number is wrong after the update is finished. i have to delete the work profile and set up all again.

my last huawei device period .... they need to learn that doenst matter if you have top notch hardware if your software sucks a big time!
I catched the same issue with P20 Pro last week. Had to reset my phone, I could not unlock and delete work profile only. Pin was not accepted.

How you manage to remove work profile without pin?
You need to set up a New work profile ... The old will be replaced

The is no option to set New Work profile, when you are locked. Only modifying sync properties, accounts inside work profile. You can disable work profile, but you will never able to enable it back.
Can You kindly demonstrate by screenshot how can you create New profile, while old still exist (even without profile lockdown)? I do not see such options.

I have to use Microsoft Company Portal for my working email, which create a google working profile. It has the same issue every time I update the Huawei software. Here is my workaround:
1. Go to Settings - Users & accounts - (Go to the bottom) Remove work profile. Be careful, at this stage, do not uninstall the Company Portal or change anything.
2. Open Company Portal app - choose delete the current profile (or something like that) and re-enroll your device.
If everything used to work, it should work now. The key is don't uninstall the Company Portal app, otherwise you may probably need to go through the lengthy App launch/Permisssions/Administrative privilege things to make it work.
Regarding who to blame on this issue, (1) the compatibility of Huawei (but since apparently US is banning US companies from working with Huawei, it may get worse); (2) Microsoft ( I really had bad experience with their company portal app and their recent software updates (aka office updates) in general; (3) Google? The working profile thing is not very intuitive. When download a pdf from my working email, I cannot even read it without having to install an app withing the working profile.
