Samsung Tab6 WiFi - No password for decryption when booting the device...

  • /e/ version:1.1
  • Device model(s): Samsung Tab6 WiFi
  • Device rooted: no

The problem

  1. Turn off the encrypted Samsung Tab6 WiFi (eOS1.1)
  2. Start the Samsung Tab 6 WiFi
  3. The "encrypted" device does not require a password when booting. There is no password request. Even a set pattern query does not occur. The device starts up like an unencrypted device!

How one can reproduce the issue

See below...

What is the expected correct behavior?

The switched off device should request a password or pattern when booting. After that it should continue the boot process.
