I recently updated my phone and now even though I have set up fingerprint and PIN for unlock, it's just straight-up opening without the need for the Fingerprint or PIN. The lock screen still shows the option to enter pin but one swipe will unlock the phone despite not even entering the PIN or using the fingerprint.
Face Unlock is off i.e. Smart Lock
PIN is set
Fingerprint is set
Xiaomi MI A3
Latest update as of 09-09-2019
Update:- Turns out the update has enabled on-body detection.
Solution:- The latest update somehow turns the Smart Unlock feature by default. Just go to Settings -> Security -> Smart Unlock and disable all the options for unlocking it via Smart Lock. This will solve your problem.
I have the same problem

Hi,
I dropped my phone this morning and, believe it or not, when I switched it on there was a new (swipe) lock screen.
This new lock screen might be because of an application that's adding a lock screen, but I can't find out which.
So to test some suggestions.
I setup a PIN unlock (I need this for corporate e-mail)
I setup the swipe unlock
So when I know switch on my phone I have to
- swipe (because of the unknown lock app or something)
- swipe again (because of the swipe unlock I setup above)
- enter a pin (because of the setup above)
Ideally I only want the pin unlock, so when I remove the swipe unlock from the security settings, I'm left with
- swipe (because of the unknown lock app or something)
- enter a pin (because of the setup above)
I want to get rid of this unknown swipe lock.
I've gone through the apps I've installed (after I uninstalled a couple) and none of them should have a lock screen
Any ideas on how I can solve this problem
Thanks

I have a Nexus 4, unrooted, stock, running Android 4.4.3. Is there any way to access the camera app from the lock-screen when using a PIN to lock the phone?
This is my personal phone, but my employer requires a PIN lock (with a very short timeout) in order to access my work exchange server. It is annoying to have to enter the pin each time I want to take a photo. Once the PIN lock has been enabled there is no way to access the camera or any widgets from the lock screen. All of the applicable settings are greyed out in the security settings menu.
I have done enough searches to know that this is not possible without rooting, but I am not clear on whether or not it is possible if I root the phone. If so, what is the easiest path to add a working camera icon to the lock screen?
When my phone updated to 4.4.3, for a few days there was a camera icon on the lock screen but it did not work. No amount of swiping, dragging, or tapping could get it to work. Then after a few days the camera icon just disappeared.
Thank for you help!
I recently downloaded Dodol Locker on my phone purely because it was too much effort typing in my pin and pressing enter, however when my device unlocks, the sony launcher asks me to swipe to unlock my device. I have looked in the settings and there are no other options than swipe unlock, bluetooth unlock, face unlock, pin, password and pattern. Does anyone know how to disable the swipe lock?
Settings > Security > screen lock > none
Hello,
I have trouble with control center. I have installed "Where's My droid" premium and "Smart lockscreen protector" apps. It's all great, but now there is another problem. When you lock your screen, you can still swipe down control center with all those (Wi-fi, Brightness, Auto rotate, bluetooth, Mobile data) options. So basicly, it means that phone thief can easily turn off Mobile data and I woun't find my phone. Meybe there is some solutions how to turn it off or something?

If you set a secure lockscreen, this should not be an issue.

I didn't quir understand you.. How can i set secure lockscreen?
Set the lockscreen with either a passcode, pattern lock, PIN code, face unlock, etc. Most phones have the settings in the Settings app under its own Lockscreen section or in the Security section.

I understand that, but thats not the case.. I have already lock screen with password. Thief cant get to my phone unless he enters right passcode to unlock phone/screen. I'm talking about the command central. Anyone can swipe down the screen from above and turn off the mobile data, wifi, etc. I have checked all lock screen options, but haven't figured ir out. For example here is article about iOs, but no androids. I can't post link, but you can type in google "how to turn off command center on lockscreen" and open 3rd website.
Sorry, should have tested that before I suggested. I could have sworn it used to be that way, but never use passwords so not entirely sure. Only thing I can think of to resolve would be a 3rd party lockscreen that has that option.
Is this issue was not resolved since 2015? I have exact same problem. I have face ID and fingerprint access controll, but still can swipe down with lock on and disable wifi, bluetooth and data. I Noticed this problem on MIUI 11, but still is a thing on MIUI 12 on Xiaomi Mi 9 SE
I have a pattern screen lock set up on my device. I also have enabled my car Bluetooth as a trusted device for Smart Lock.
It obviously recognises I am in the car as when I turn on my device I get the swipe to unlock screen but this then takes me to the pattern lock screen. I thought the point of Smart Lock was that it disabled the security for those trusted devices?
Am I doing something wrong or is there a hidden setting I am missing?

I think you should keep the bluetooth on
The Bluetooth is on, which is why I get the swipe screen but it doesn't disable the pattern lock.

For security reasons, when Smart Lock is enabled, after any connection to the trusted device the first unlock has to be using the predefined unlock of the phone, and after that the Smart Lock will work as expected until the connection is lost, and then again the same procedure. if the connection is lost
