Far too much trouble to go to. I'll try other security features.

Well, the upgrade to 7.0 dids nothing to help this problem. I deleted and re-added fingerprints and it still does not recognize me.

It was already turned on. Problem was your hand has to be TOUCHING the screen as you swipe. Now it works just fine. Thanks to all for the help.

Now on Nugget 7.0, can't find the permission in Settings for the swipe. Searched "Screen" and "Screen Shot" and came up empty. Where is it?

"No results found" I just got the Nougat 7.0 update and am installing it now. Will update this thread after i test it out.

I have tried the right-to-left swipe and the hit-volume-up-and-power-switch options but I just can't get this phone to take a screen-shot. Is there a setting I need to change to allow this?

<<Turn on "Lock instantly with power key".>> That setting is not on the Secure Lock Settings screen on my Galaxy S7.

It recognizes me very rarely, like 5% of the time. I have tried registering the same thumbprint as Fingerprint 2 and 3, figuring that maybe if I gave it more samples it would work right. Funny though, I also have Lastpass on the phone and it never has a problem recognizing my thumbprint. But...

There is an entry called Other Security, and it contains Clear Credentials--which is grayed out so I can't press it.

And I am not using any 3rd-party launcher.

On 6.0.1 10/1/16 update, Settings>Security is no longer present. I went into Settings>Lock Screen and Security (is this what you meant?) but there is no entry for Clear Credentials. I have removed and reset fingerprints several times and since the October update, it rarely works, maybe 5%...
