Can not get my Samsung Galaxy S6 to go back to just a "Swipe" to unlock screen.

I'm not trying to sound rude but maybe you should direct this question in the S6 category not the Note 3 category.
But if the S6 works like the
Note 3, you need to go to Settings>Phone>Lock Screen.
Then select "screen lock" choice at top. Swipe should be the first choice, at least it is on the Note 3.
Hope that helps!

Opps ... Sorry. When I do take those steps, and go back to the lock screen settings, Swipe is gone! Not even an option.

This phones got to go back anyway. When on a call, it started cutting in and out, and the other person couldn't hear me, like if on mute. Now the only way I can use the phone is either on speakerphone, or use a Bluetooth headset. Maybe I should just switch back to my S4.

SOLVED: even if cleared credentials is grayed out.

Settings > Device: Screen Lock > Screen Lock > enter your PIN (that you are currently using) > OK, and it
brings you back to all the options, i.e. Swipe, Pattern, etc.

I think a lot of people (such as myself) were thinking that when you saw the PIN screen again you were going to set up a new PIN #. Not the case here, it just wants you to enter current PIN in order to change Lock Screen settings. I just happened to try it to see what it would do and it worked! ; )))
