Why has my swipe action changed to using password to open

[Android Central Question]

My Galaxy Smp900 tablet swipe action to open suddenly stopped and now requests a password, what do I do to change it back to swipe action?

Hi there you need to go to settings and security and you can change the method in there.

Welcome to Android Central! When you say "swipe action," are you saying you typically just swipe up to unlock? Or are you talking about a pattern unlock?
