That helped. Thanks.
The fingerprint access seldom worked and I got tired of typing in my backup pswd. Since I only use my Tab S2 at home anyway, I decided to just use swipe. Actually, I guess I don't even have to "swipe" it to enter now since I'm using a MoKo leather case with the magnetic "sleep/wake" feature. All I do is open the case and I'm immediately on my home screen.
