While I understand that Google probably hasn't provided the answers yet, I have two questions about this. First, will I need to setup a pin for my devices? I don't normally use any form of a lock screen on my devices and I'd prefer to continue not having them but I know from personal experience that some android devices don't allow you to remove the lock screens after you set them up.

Second, during the 24 hour waiting period, is the device still usable? I know this might sound like a stupid question but Google's vague wording has me wondering.
