Ok bad title i know, what im asking is is it possible to replace the use of PIN when i have the fingerprint scanner enabled? Currently if you have fingerprint scanner enabled it makes you use your PIN if you use not to swipe your finger.
I would love it if instead of PIN i could use the Visual Pattern. Idk how possible/not this is, but it would be great if able.

You can enable the pattern lock, by setting it. The secondary unlock method is determined by what the user set last (pattern/PIN).
I will try this thanks!
Awesome worked just as described.
Whoops - I misread the above post, but the same works. I had the same problem with the pattern lock, and ending up switching back to the PIN.
Thanks for the tip: worked beautiful!
PS I hate PINs
After having a few adult beverages last night i was showing this girl the fingerprint scanner lockscreen, it works no issues.... But i have no idea what I set my alternative password to to be able to change it.
I really don't want to have to do a factory reset, what are my options?
Sounds like it doubles as an IQ test too. Setting a password that you won't remember isn't a great approach. But you can get out of this mess by deleting all of your fingerprints. You can confirm the action by swiping your finger (rather than needing the password). When you've deleted all fingerprints on file, you should return to a normal lock screen.

I love the fingerprint acanner on the S5 but sometimes it's not easy to swipe your finger or thumb.
Typing in the backup password is not easy either.
Is it possible to get fingerprint and pattern at the same time.
I've searched a lot for it but with no luck.
Love the fingerprint unlock locked-screen feature. However, it has it's drawbacks. Can only be activated via - PIN lock. How you set up a pin,and after that it gives you the option to use fingerprint as well.
My question is : how do i use fingerprint only!? No more pin just the finger.
Best part about fingerprint is that you don't have to use the physical button. if the screen is off / locked just hold finger and it opens.
Also. I am now using Action Launcher 3. Super launcher. But it does not allow the function to unlock via fingerprint. Does anybody know if this works ? Where is the setting ?
The pin is used to unlock your sim card, the fingerprint is used to unlock your phone's system. If you don't want any pin code, you can either remove the sim card (well, it will probably be a little bit annoying when you want to call someone ^^), or set the pin code to blank. I don't even know if this is possible, actually.
As phones usually ask pin code before system unlock (fingerprint or other), you probably cannot have a third app that would allow to use fingerprint as pin, as it would have to start before the system. Unless I miss an idea, I think you can't do what you ask.
Figured that it has an automated backup just in case the finger is not recognized . You either get the pin or the pattern. Never just the fingerprint. There is no way around this.
Another question: how do i get the list of apps to go in one single page. Right now With ZenUI launcher there are a few pages. Action launcher 3 has one page (option). ..Is there any way to do this with ZenUI ? I got back to the default launcher from Asus cuz of the fingerprint. it's kinda cool to have it. Even tho Action Launcher 3 is amazing.
What's the problem with Action Launcher? I'm using it with fingerprint unlock and it works just fine.

Clearly you only assumed things only from the setup screen.
OF COURSE in this phone we only use our fingerprint to unlock the screen. No buttons, No pins, No pattern.
If, that is IF, the phone can't recognize your fingerprint for 5 times in a row (because of wet finger, wrong position, dirty etc) it will then requires a pin or pattern unlock. This is why the setup ask you for your pin/pattern first.
Sorry my poor English before, how can I remove pattern and finger print, I already finish root my phone xiaomi a1, and I forgot remove pattern and finger print, now I stuck when input pattern because when I touch my phone the pattern so random click and not following when I draw the pattern. Can someone give me solution? Or can someone give me room without password
