Help Double Pin/Pattern lock?

So is this possible

Pin lock -> another pin lock after that (For security)

Or Pin lock -> Pattern lock ?


If so, I'd very much would love to learn how.
 
Not within the standard user interface.

You could use a replacement lockscreen app plus the standard lockscreen, which could give a solider in addition to the standard slider+pattern/PIN, which would give extra protection against accidental swipes in a pocket but no more security. I don't offhand know of one that has its own PIN or password, though I've not looked at them for a few years.

You could use a third-party app to PIN protect key apps, but that wouldn't be linked to unlocking.

If security is your real concern, a password can be more secure than a PIN or pattern (more combinations). Or use a longer PIN.
