Have an Android 5.0 device and a Chromebook? If so, you can make the two work together seamlessly. A new feature called Smart Lock allows Lollipop devices to unlock a Chromebook when nearby. Smart Lock forgoes the lockscreen in favor of this wireless sign-in method. Only the account connected to both the Lollipop device and Chromebook activates the feature. And, at this time, Smart Lock is not available directly to all Chrome OS users.
Hit the break for directions, but remember that Smart Lock is recommended only for experienced Chrome OS Dev Channel users. Testing items within the Dev Channel can potentially harm the system.
- Type “Chrome://flags” into the Chrome browser
- Enable “Easy Unlock” and “Easy Sign-On”
- Restart the device and Smart Lock will be on the system
- Go to Advanced Settings within the Settings page
- Turn on/off “Smart Lock”
