Note that when you get on an airplane or a boat (or another non-land based
vehicle), your device may not lock automatically, so make sure to lock it manually if
needed.
•
When you pick up your device again or get out of the vehicle, just unlock it once
and your device then stays unlocked for as long as you have it on you.
The On-body detection feature can't distinguish whose body is connected. If you give your
device to someone else while it's unlocked using On-body detection, your device may stay
unlocked for the other user. Keep in mind that On-body detection as a security feature is
less secure than a pattern, PIN, or password.

Connecting to trusted devices
If you have a device that you connect to regularly using Bluetooth® or NFC, for
example, a home entertainment system or a fitness tracker, you can add it as a
trusted device and bypass the added security of the lock screen to save time. This
feature is suitable if you’re normally in a secure place when you use this device. In
some cases, you may still need to manually unlock your device before a trusted
device can be connected.
It is not recommended to add devices that are constantly connected to your device as
trusted devices, for example, Bluetooth® keyboards or mice.
As soon as a trusted device is switched off or moves out of range, your screen locks and
you need your PIN, pattern or password to unlock it.

you want to add as a trusted device.

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.
