What Happened to the Confirm PIN Without Tapping OK Feature?

General Discussion
1

I’ve been using my Samsung Galaxy device for a while now, and I’ve recently noticed that the ‘Confirm PIN without tapping OK’ feature seems to have disappeared after the latest update. Having that option was really convenient, and I relied on it for quick access.

The Situation

When I tried entering my PIN, I realized I now have to physically press ‘OK’ to confirm it. This change can be a bit frustrating, especially if I’m in a hurry or using my phone with one hand.

Questions I Have

  • Why was this feature removed? Is there any specific reason behind the decision?
  • Can I get it back? Are there settings that I might be overlooking that could restore this functionality?
  • What does this mean for my device’s security? Should I be concerned about the implications of this change?

What I’ve Tried

I’ve checked through the settings multiple times, looking for anything that might relate to the PIN entry process, but I haven’t found much. I also searched online, but most discussions are either outdated or not exactly what I’m looking for.

Community Input Needed

If anyone out there has faced this issue or knows of any workarounds or solutions, I’d really appreciate your insights! It’s such a small feature, but it made a big difference in my daily use. Let’s brainstorm together to find a fix or alternative. Thanks!

I’ve also been puzzled by the missing ‘OK’ feature when confirming my PIN. It used to be so straightforward! Now, I often find myself second-guessing if my confirmation actually went through.

I feel the same way! It’s not user-friendly at all. I wonder whose idea it was to change it?

Every time I enter my PIN, I wait for a response that doesn’t come anymore. It’s so frustrating! Was this feature removed in an update?

5

Exactly! It’s like they expect us to just know it worked. Such an odd decision!

I think this is a common issue that many people are facing. It leads to unnecessary confusion and anxiety about whether or not my input was accepted.

Honestly, the whole interface feels clunky now. I just want my PIN confirmation back! Who thought removing the ‘OK’ button was a great idea?

Right? It’s like they want us to pull our hair out! Has anyone found a workaround for this?

I haven’t found a workaround yet, but I do wish they would reconsider this change. It shouldn’t be this hard to confirm a simple action.

I’ve even tried tapping my screen in hopes it would process. Is that how we’re supposed to do it now? It’s so bizarre!

Haha, I did that too! I felt silly, like I was trying to summon the app gods or something.

It’s frustrating that something simple like PIN confirmation has turned into a guessing game. Maybe we need to start a petition or something.

13

I know, right? It’s a reminder to us how sometimes. even small changes can have a bigger impact on usability.

14

Exactly! I didn’t think I’d be nostalgic for the ‘OK’ button, but here we are.

15

I think we all just want reassurance. Every time I enter it, I hold my breath in anticipation. It should be easier!

16

Honestly, if they brought the button back, I’d be thrilled! This change is just too confusing for everyone.

17

Maybe next time they’ll think twice before removing such an essential feature. It’s affected so many users negatively!

I noticed the ‘OK’ button is gone too! A workaround is using a swipe gesture, if your device supports it. You might explore that option.

That’s a great tip! I often accidentally hit the wrong button. Are there any specific gestures that work well?

I suggest checking your settings! In some apps, you can enable features like ‘Confirm with a tap.’ It should be in the accessibility section.
