Hey all, I’m trying to figure out if I can remove the password for all our iOS devices and a few Android devices in one go. I know there’s a Clear password remote action, but here’s where I’m confused. 

We have one device group with only iOS devices, another with only android, and a third one that has both. 

So… can I run the action on the group that contains everything? Or do I need to do it separately? Also, does this even work for Android? I tried it long ago on an iPhone and it worked, but Android has PIN, pattern, password and all that, so I’m not sure how that behaves.

You’re overthinking it, man. The action works for ios, visionOS, and Android devices running 7.0 or above as long as they’re enrolled via Android enterprise. 

If that requirement is met, just run the action on the combined group. Doesn’t matter if it’s Pin, pattern, or password, it’ll all get cleared.

Thanks, man. You actually know all the details, even the version requirements.

Nah, dude, I was just going to ask you, have you checked out the Hexnode help center? They’ve got detailed feature docs for literally everything in Hexnode. Plus troubleshooting guides and all sorts of stuff if you run into problems.
