I have added my finger print as well iam using pin lock but without authenticating it's getting unlock by swiping up the screen any idea how lock device and unlock device by FP Scanner
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.

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 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

A couple of times since I've had the 6T, when I tapped the screen to bring up the ambient display or lock screen the fingerprint sensor wouldn't be active. The fingerprint icon would be white and putting a finger on it did nothing. The first time it happened, I was using the single tap to ambient display. When the fingerprint sensor didn't work, I hit the power button to bring up the lock screen and the sensor activated and I was able to unlock using a fingerprint.
I've switched to using double tap to lock screen with both face & fingerprint unlock. Tonight when I tapped the screen the lock screen came up but again the fingerprint icon was white, not active, and face unlock didn't even work. I had to swipe up to unlock with my PIN. After doing so, both fingerprint & face unlock have worked as normal.
Any ideas on why this could be happening? Just a random software glitch? Or does device security require unlocking with a PIN/Password/Pattern after so many fingerprint/face unlocks or after a given amount of time?
yes, it happened to me as well.
but i dont think this is a bug/glitch. This happened to me on other android phones as well.
i think this is a security thing where your fingerprint sensor/ face id is disabled once in a while and you can only sign in with your pin/password.
