after installing murena on a FP 3 : everything is fine

after installing murena on a Fairphone 6 (latest official) it is impossible to lock the screen (code, fingerprint..)

if I try to set a new code, the system goes into a loop, and asks me again and again. the only way to get out is to type “ignore”

On fp6 it is happening a bit as you describe if you left a Google account on the phone and / or any password, screenlock or PIN, that is any “secret” not removed by Format data. Threads on the subject have hashtag frp .

The fix has been to roll back to Fairphone Android

and eliminate anything pertinent and try /e/OS install again.
