After UI 8 update, my secure folder which has its own independent password from my phone (I didn't set a password for my phone currently), now has an "integrated password" with my phone - meaning, when I set the password for secure folder, it also sets the same password for my phone. 

When opening up secure folder after the update, a screen showed up saying "Set secure screen lock first - To use Secure Folder, you first need to set a pin, password or pattern for your PHONE in Settings."

I don't wish to have a password for my phone. This issue wasn't there before the update and passwords are always independent.

I was always asked to secure my phone with pin/pw/pattern. Once i did i then created secure folder with a pw different from phone unlock pw.

i checked it again and after the update, it's forcing me to set a password for the Phone - which i didn't have to do it in the past. I can set two separate password for the Phone and Secure folder.
