Is there a way to only have the draw pattern unlock instead of having to both swipe to unlock, in my case with the htc lock screen, then having to trace my unlock pattern.

Any way to disable the swipe up required before getting to the pattern unlock? Ideally I'd like to wake the phone and have the pattern unlock screen be the first thing that comes up like i had in 5.1..1. Im not fan of fingerprint
Hello, looking for some help with resetting my phone's lock screen pattern unlock. I use fingerprint unlock as my primary unlock method and lock screen pattern unlock as my secondary. Recently, I've gotten into the habit of unlocking my phone via pattern instead of fingerprint. However as I tried to unlock my phone via pattern unlock yesterday, it didn't accept it and my phone locked me out for periods of time. I can still unlock my phone via fingerprint and if I'm in a trusted location (Home). I have no idea why my pattern is no longer being accepted.
As I'm still able to unlock my phone via fingerprint/trusted location, I went to settings to reset my lock screen pattern, but it requires the lock screen pattern to reset/change to a new lock screen pattern. Because my lock screen pattern is not being accepted I can't change/reset my lock screen pattern.
Is there anyway I can get around lock screen pattern to change to a new lock screen pattern?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Thanks guys, I was actually able to unlock and reset the pattern with 'Find My Mobile' Samsung service.
Hi onechionly,
How were you able to reset the pattern?
My wife ran into the same thing with her Samsung Galaxy Edge S7. She had a pattern and fingerprint set up. One day, her pattern no longer worked but the fingerprint worked fine. She can unlock with the fingerprint but if she had to change lock options (new pattern or a PIN), the phone asks for her pattern lock and she can't get further.
We logged into her Find My Mobile, but I couldn't find an option to "reset" the pattern. The closest thing I found was to lock her phone using a PIN and she can go in, but that's not the issue. The phone requires a pattern to access further security options in Settings.
If you provide more details, I would greatly appreciate it.
I currently have no password on my lock screen meaning that anyone can unlock my phone. But when I go into my device settings to set a password for the lock screen it ask's me to enter a pin. I can't for the life of me remember what this pin is as before I had always used the fingerprint unlock and never a pin? But this means that I now can't secure my lock screen. Does anyone know if there is a way around this - e.g any way I can change it through my Google account online or something?
I have tried with many lock screen widget/applications and screen is locked but can not open with fingerprint scan, only unlock with pin code. Is there any widget/application that will be working with fingerprint, to unlock the screen, thanks.
If i understand it right you want fingerprint unlock but with some widget on your lock screen ? If that so you can't because finger print sensor is mounted in power button not screen itself so basicly what you want is impossible. ?
If i understood you correctly

Smart Lock could be enabled and not prompting for a pin/print
Do you have face unlock enabled? Their version of face unlock is incredibly fast.
