Not using any pattern-, PIN- or password-lock is a huge security problem, but reentering your PIN code a hundred times a day can also be annoying.
'Delayed Lock' is a solution to this problem: After unlocking your device, it will turn the lock screen off for a user defined amount of time. You can turn your phone off and on as often as you want without entering your password/PIN/pattern again. After a certain time, it will automatically reactivate your lockscreen, so no stranger can unlock your device and access your private data.
Additionally, there is also an optional notification in the Android status bar and a widget to immediately reenable the lock screen, and free plugins to automatically keep the device unlocked while connected to a specific WiFi network / Bluetooth device or at certain locations.
DOES NOT WORK IF EXCHANGE POLICY REQUIRES A PIN!
Android 4.0/4.1:
Since ICS you need a rooted device to get the pattern lock & FaceUnlock working with the app! No root is required when using PIN or password lockscreen.

Recently changed in this version:
2.9:
- split into different versions for pre-ICS and 4.0+ devices (removed a lot of decrepated stuff from the 4.0+ version)
- uses a free helper app to enable/disable USB debugging, so the app itself has not to be in /system/app any more
- added ACCESS_SUPERSUER permission on 4.0+ version (will be necessary in the future to use root)
- can now hide notification buttons on 4.2+
- minor UI improvements

This app is great. It keeps my phone unlocked while I'm at home, plus it remembers to turn off the wifi once I leave the house.

Didn't work...sometimes screen would lock immediately others wouldn't lock at all. Tried adjusting inbuilt settings and deactivating had permissions etc so lucky I give it 3. Annoying how poor Androids options still are that I would need this tbh.
