My wife and I share a phone. We use Secure Folder with of course a security password on the folder. For convenience we have no security on the phone (and nothing there we need to hide).
The latest OS update now insists we have a phone sign-on security in order to use Secure Folder. A second layer which we dont need. Is there any way to revert to the previous arrangement ?

You can try downgrading to a lower OS version as long as you have the same bootloader. I don't suggest doing it unless you know what you're doing, as it might brick your phone.
You can try sending feedback to Samsung Devs by going to the Members App > Support tab > Send feedback.

Hi @Rowdy99,
This is intended behaviour of B OS. To use Secure Folder, a regular lock screen method is required.
We will be forwarding the feedback to our relevant teams.
We also would not recommend that you downgrade to a lower OS version, as this could potentially cause more issues within your device.
Warm regards,
