It will only reset every 3 days if you don't unlock it. I'm pretty sure most people unlock their phones within 3 days. There are some concerns from people using their phones as unattended mobile hotspots; this concern is valid there. However you can just disable the device PIN or turn off the feature in this case.

Ah. Now this finally makes more sense than generic 'its for your security'.

I dont unlock the secondary phone. Only charge it every few days.

Disabling the PIN reduces security (what kind of "hacker" gives such bad advice?).

I bet we wont be able to disable that feature in few months.

Pain in the butt with work phone too - take 3 day holidays and it stopps working.

Bad feature created by people who dont think.
