Lock screen issues

I am running a stock un-rooted note 5 . my issue is that I have to Swipe up on the lock Screen and use the fingerprint to unlock but I only want to use the fingerprint . Any idea HOW to do this?
Please search next time. You have smart lock activated. If you have a lock icon on you lock screen, your phone is not secure. Just swipe anywhere but from that icon and your phone unlocks. If you swipe from the lock icon, then you are securing it for the next time you turn the screen on. To change the smart lock setting, go to settings > lock screen and security>secure lock settings> smart lock.
The thing is I already searched and could not find anything on this. Also smart lock is not turned on. If I wipe it's either use finger print or pin if it can't read my print after a few tries. My phone will not unlock from just a swipe it has to be a pin or password. I don't want to swipe at all but just use a finger print.
I figured it out the thread can be closed.

Apps that can lock the screen and can be unlocked by using finger print only (6.0)

Hello, good day!
Are there any apps there that can lock your phone screen (like double tap to lock), and can be unlocked using your fingerprint only?
I have a rooted device, and have tried nova launcher's double tap to lock gesture, but every time I unlock my phone, it asks for the pin. I'm on android 6.0 btw.
thanks

Remove Swipe Sreen from lock screen when not using swipe lock method

Hello,
I want to use the patern lock method. The problem is that when I want to unlock the phone I must swipe the screen first and then to use the patern.(I select the only the patern method). I have searched the web(a lot) and still I can't get an answer.... On my previous phone(Note4 with Android 6.1) this behavior was not present. Is there a "magic " setting that can end my suffering?
Thank you in advance!
What happens when you also include fingerprint as a option?... meaning you have both pin and fingerprint as options.
You also have to swipe to use the iris scanner too...annoying for sure.

There's an option to have it scan for you iris as soon as you hit the unlock button.
The swipe is present if I chose pattern+face or pattern+iris...I just can get ride of it...I must swipe first and then biometrics or pattern...
No swipe needed, go to settings>display>navigation bar then turn on Unlock with home button, no need to swipe now just push the home button.
looking to slove this as well on galaxy s7 active...
we don't have the nav bar option...

Bypass lock screen after double tap

Hi,
is there any option to bypass lock screen after double tap to wake up?
I have safety agent so when I double tap I see information that device is unlocked and I must swipe to see home screen. I don't want to swipe and see home screen immediately.

If you disable lock screen then it will work as you wish.
I don't want disable lock screen. It's unlocking by safety agent from Google and I don't want to additionally make slide to unlock after screen wake up

Lock screen that shows the pattern immediately without swipe.

Is there an alternative lockscreen for Android that shows the unlock pattern immediately upon lighting the screen? The lockscreen on my Samsung Note 10 Lite, and the Samsung A50 I had before it, would require these steps to unlock:
1. Double tap screen to wake the device.
2. A swipe up to show the pattern dots.
3. Enter the pattern.
My old Samsung Note 3 had a much better experience:
1. Double tap screen to wake the device.
2. Enter the pattern.
Thank you.
I find that the Samsung Note 3 had the perfect lockscreen for these two features:
* Displays unlock pattern immediately
* Select contacts can be dialed without unlocking the phone
I still have that device. Can the lockscreen APK be taken from that device and used on the Note 10 Lite?
I am interested in this too!!!!
