Welcome to Android Central! Do you mean the lockscreen times out quickly, or does it actually turn off even after you start typing?

I turns off within 1 - 2 seconds after I swipe, just as I'm about to type my first character of my PIN. I have to press the power button again and swipe again.

my screen turns off after 3 seconds when I use the quick launch camera app or Samsung pay. not sure if your problem is related to mine? I don't see any setting to change screen lock out time

culprit for me was the app Glimpse notification
