Lumia 950 Unlocks even without recognising my iris

Hi there,

I got my Lumia 950 today, and installed the insider preview to get the latest version of Windows 10 mobile as I saw is recommended prior to its official release. I have iris detection setup and it works... but, I can just slide up and it ignores my eyes anyway, doesn't even ask for my pin. Any idea how to stop that from happening?

Nick.

It's okay, found it, I had the lock timeout set to 15 minutes. So i'm guessing it looking for your eyes before that time has elapsed, even though the device isn't locked; is a bug?

Its a feature.

Windows hello will both unlock the phone and log you in. If you're already logged in because of the time out, it is just unlocking it for you.
