So you know what it is? I just tried both volume keys and all I got was TalkBack (Google's screen reader).
it's called lockdown mode. on my phone you press and hold the power button and select the option. you might have to enable this in settings.
Holy connoli, you are right! I just enabled it.
At least on my phone, rebooting also makes it require PIN
Yeah, that's right. Which is fucking annoying, to be honest.
I find it a little useless since you can also shut it down or force restart (continuously hold power button until it restarts)
