Unlock device through "Ok Google" vocal command

[Tomasclaro]

Hi there, 

I'm not able to unlock the device using the "ok google" vocal command. (of course, the command is activated and it is working fine if the device is unlocked)

Is there any particular settings I need to modify? 

thanks

I would hope as long as a secure method of locking is used, ok Google will never unlock.

hi there, that's not an answer to my questions!

if I choose to give google the ability to unlock the device with my voice, it depends by me and the security level i want/need. 

if you don't want google to unlock your device through vocal command, just keep the option disabled. isn't it??

I'm just asking why this feature is not working on my device, and, of course, if there is a solution. 

for your info, i want this feature working, cause while i'm outside with cellphone in pocket and earphone mounted, i want to unlock device and start calling just using vocal commands. (quite comfortable i suppose...)

And what security do you have on your lockscreen?
If you have secure methods protecting the device the ok Google may not be secure enough to bypass it

i set up the finger print unlock method.

And by unlock you mean unlock once screen woken up, or wake up screen?

[Tomasclaro]

i think "unlock" should work with the screen switched off. 

because if i need to wake up the screen manually it lose the benefits of a complete 100% handsfree unlocking method. is it right?

I would also like to be able to associate this unlocking vocal feature just if the phone recognize the mini jack of the earphone... but this is definitively a second step right now!

I've just tested this on xz and it unlocked.
I set up in security settings, smart lock, smart voice.
And trained the 3 OK Google commands.
Set options of OK Google to any screen, and unlock.
Once screen is woken, ok Google command will unlock device.

[Lord_viridis]

No, the command will not wake up screen, nor will it open to the home page, it will unlock into Google app waiting question or command.

thanks, 

i need to review my unlock setting i think.
