Seems that after entering my PIN through the cover display, there is a keypad on the opened display that asks for one's
personal security password that is NOT the same as the PIN. So, I am locked out. |

Sorted it out. Thnx.
BIG QUESTION: Why must one enter their PIN twice before using their Cosmo? PIN required or entered through the cover display keypad AND then again after swiping up the open device? That is redundant (and unnecessary), yes?

Same as the finger print reader when the display is closed. This could be an undesireable side effect or a bug. I use the fp reader most of the time, if its not reading due to the periodic pin verification i just open the device. The outside screen pin option seems useless to me, especially combine with the outer screens lag. |
