Making sure you're secure when using trusted devices Different Bluetooth® devices support different Bluetooth® standards and security capabilities. There's a possibility that someone could keep your Xperia™ device unlocked by imitating your Bluetooth® connection, even if your trusted device is no longer nearby. Your device is not always able to determine whether your connection is secure from someone trying to imitate it. When your device can't determine whether you're using a secure connection, you'll get a notification on your Xperia™ device and may need to manually unlock it before the trusted device can keep it unlocked. Bluetooth® connectivity range can vary depending on factors like the model of your device, the connected Bluetooth® device, and your environment. Depending on these factors, Bluetooth® connections can work over distances up to 100 metres. Connecting to trusted places When the Trusted places feature is set up, the lock screen security on your Xperia™ device gets disabled when you are in a designated trusted location. For this feature to work, you must have an internet connection (preferably over Wi-Fi) and allow your device to use your current location.
