Don't lock device on trusted wifi

I have never used device lock on any of my previous phones, but in these days I'm getting a bit more wary. However I do very rarely leave my own wifi and I would find it extremely annoying if I should unlock my phone with a 5+ digit code every time I look up something. Hence my request for disabling device lock on a "trusted wifi". It would require:

  • Defining a network as trusted.
  • Defining what a trusted network is. I assume a combination of SSID and MAC-address would be a good start - and enough security for me even though they can be spoofed. People worried about that could just not use the option.
  • Keeping a list of "trusted" networks and the ability to edit them and associating the lock behaviour to them.
