#FIXING CRYPTO LOCKER FOR ANDROID#

There's just one teensy weensy little problem: One of the most effective Smart Lock options for Android is constantly breaking and failing to do its job.

So, yeah: Smart Lock makes an awful lot of sense - not just for average phone-ownin' folk but also for enterprises and businesses of all sizes that need to enforce proper security and want to make the measures as palatable as possible. The sensational headlines about big, bad malware monsters lurking in the dark and waiting to pounce on unsuspecting victims may be scary, after all, but here in the real world, you're far more likely to suffer from your own self-made security shortcomings than from any sort of theoretical threat. The basic idea behind it is to make securing your smartphone less inconvenient, thus making it more likely that you'll actually use a pattern, PIN, passcode, or person-paw press (also known as a fingerprint) to keep your data safe. Smart Lock has been around since 2014's Android 5.0 era (which, according to my calculations, was approximately 'an eternity' ago by 2020 standards). Android's Smart Lock feature is spectacular - that is, when it actually works.
