Default Can't turn off lock screen password protection
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

It seems you can turn on lock screen password protection, but you can't turn it off.
I tried going into Settings>lock & wallpaper and the only option I have is to change the password. I just don't wanna type in an 8-digit password they require everytime I wanna unlock it.

Does anyone have a workaround?

Thanks

I managed to turn it on and turn it off again when I was testing it out a few days ago.

Default nvm i figured it out.
I figured it out. My college email was requiring my phone to have a password. So I deleted the email account and voila I could turn it off.
