For me its the ‘Knock Code’ that LG had on their phones (I really wish LG still made at least the V series phones)

Basically there was a four-square area and you set up a sequence of where you would tap to unlock the phone. That set of squares was only shown when you set up the code

Then, to unlock your phone, you would tap those areas in the sequence you set up (even with the screen off).

Fingerprint readers are nice, but I really do miss the knock code

Edit: did find this article with a way to do the knock code, but if done wrong, could brick your phone I guess.

Plus, article is from 2014. When I looked at XDA’s info on it (they also being the developers) it looks like development on it is over, but individual modules may or may not still be supported by their devs

      That I don’t know. I know pausing the profile doesn’t let me, and turning on USB debugging puts me out of compliance but doesn’t let me.

          Think you are right.

          All I see is the disable option.

          I might just delete. If someone messages me when I’m at lunch, it can probably wait

            If your work wants you to have mobile messaging/email then they should issue you a work device. I never put work stuff on my personal phone or computer. And I don’t put personal stuff on a work device. If I pay for a device I have full control of it.

        If it’s possible, you could try talking to your IT department about this. Intune policies are configurable by the team using them so your IT department could allow your device as you want it if so. Hopefully they would understand the freedom to use your hardware as you see fit is worth the tradeoff of loosening their policies.
