I’d like to remove the need to press OK or ✔️ for a faster PIN-unlock, the confirmation step doesn’t add any additional level of security since it seems the PIN length is always 4 digits.
I currently have Android 5.0.1.

@Firelord I tried Xposed an it didn’t work. I’m not sure but I think it works only for some particular firmware/hardware, also it worried me that it can’t detect the PIN length on its own. If I enter the wrong length in Xposed or a longer PIN the device then can’t be unlocked.– rraallvvCommented Sep 22, 2016 at 12:23

Stock android does not have the ability to disable this feature, as such it requires you to confirm the PIN every time you enter it. Depending on your phone, the version of Android on your phone may support this functionality.
I believe this functionality is also part of CyanogenMod (It was when I ran it a few years ago).
Also, PIN's aren't always 4 digits long, stock Android requires PIN's of at least 4 digits. Automatically confirming the PIN after x digits would kinda defeat the purpose of a longer PIN because you could find out the correct length in one attempt.
