Caching credentials is useful where you are repeatedly doing something that requires authentication, for example installing a lot of apps. But that's not the case here: you might switch lock security once, and then change your mind, but that's about it. Combined with the inconsistency of swipe vs. anything else, I think caching here is more surprising than useful.
** Description changed: Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to system settings 2. Set up a passcode (currently marked as 4-digit PIN code) 3. Tap on SET 4. Now tap immediately on "Swipe (no security)" 5. Actual result: the setting switches to "Swipe (no security)" without asking for the just set up passcode Expected result: Every time user sets up a passcode/passphrase and wants to switch between the different lock security options, he has to confirm the last set passcode/passphrase (except for SWIPE). + + <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings#phone-locking>: "All + “Unlock the phone using:” options, except the current one, should end + with an ellipsis, because switching between any two will involve further + input in the form of a dialog: “Switch to Swipe”, “Switch to Passcode”, + or “Switch to Passphrase” as appropriate." ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: New => Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1371655 Title: [system settings] allows to change lock security without asking for passcode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1371655/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
