on the S6 edge plus, I went to

settings>lock screen and security>Other security settings>clear credentials

and it let me now choose "none" on the lock screen and security>screen lock type> none

interested if anyone thinks this might be bad, but it is working for me so far.

hope this helps! thanks!!

thnkx the problem is totally completely and easily solved by just going into settings/security/and just clicking on /"clear all credentials" and your problem will be solved hounestly im telling the truth

Thank you! This simple step helped me. I had android pay which made me put higher security lock on my phone. Then my bank stopped participating with android pay, so I uninstalled the app...but I was still stuck without being able to go back to swipe unlock.
