Why can't I change my lock screen to swipe instead of pin?

[AC Question]

In my lock screen settings, the "swipe" option is darkened out. It will let me change my password type, but will not let me select swipe.

Go to lock screen and security, then other security, scroll down, tap clear credentials and then you can change it.
