Encryption and subsequent Lock Screen Options for Galaxy S6 (Active)

A

AC Question

To encrypt my device, I must create an alphanumeric password. Can someone that has done this to their S6 or S6 Active tell me what the options are for a regular screen lock?
I understand that the alphanumeric password is required when booting the device from an off position, but is it required EACH time you unlock the screen when it is idle? Or can I change the unlock screen to a PIN or Swipe option?
So, is it possible to have the required alphanumeric password on initial boot up, but a different option (PIN, etc.) on the regular lock screen while the phone is already on?
