Long story short, I had a fingerprint setup as my primary screen lock, with a knock code as my secondary screen lock.
I performed a google backup, then reset my phone. Now I am trying to restore my backup and it's asking me to confirm my old screen lock PIN.
Problem is, I never set a PIN. I set a fingerprint and a knock code.
Any ideas?

I'm looking for app which allows to make the screen off (via e.g. double tap) without locking the 5X.
Without locking 'coz Imprint is associated with a PIN code, so using applictations like Screen Off and Lock requires re-enter a pin code.
This is annoying and time-wasting.
This is all based on the stock ROM, but I would be interested to hear if it's different in any of the custom ROMs that are available.
So, if you set up a fingerprint, you also have to set up a PIN, Password, or unlock Pattern. After the first fingerprint unlock after boot, it requires this extra security, and then stops requiring it until after some timeout has passed, or until a number of failed attempts at fingerprint unlock. It is also then super easy to accidentally unlock the phone by literally touching it in the wrong spot.
I would like to have my phone require both a fingerprint and a PIN, Password, or unlock Pattern. "Something you have and something you know" and all that.
Is there an Xposed module that would do this, or a custom lock screen that could be installed? Thanks for your help. I've tried searching about this and have not found anything helpful.
Fingerprint unlock is treated as a lower security level than password/pin/pattern.
When you boot, device doesn't really require both (just turn the screen on and slide up and the security you chose will be promted)

Helped me two years ago. The bad thing is that you need root for this.
Think you put pattern lock in several times until you exceed the allowed attempts then google will prompt you to open it with your google credentials. Now go to lock screen settings and delete the pin lock.
I am trying to figure out how I can add a short message such as "if found call.. xxxxx.." in case I lose my phone on the lock screen, I have a pin, and use the fingerprint lock as the phone has work stuff and must have a password setting. Is there a way to do this?
Hello, I'm running a Samsung S4 Mini (I9195) with LineageOS 18.1. Smart Lock isn't cutting it for me, I don't use GPS, I only have BT on when listening to music. I want to have the ability to unlock and lock the lock screen at my leisure, to make it stop asking for my PIN until I press-hold the lock icon on the lock screen to make it ask for PIN again.
I used to be able to do that, by setting up a system profile that sets the lock screen to not ask for PIN when it is activated. After having encrypted my phone via the option in the Security settings menu, I can't do this particular thing. Amusingly, I can still remove the PIN from the phone entirely and make the lock screen stop asking for one that way, but that requires going into settings, disabling the PIN, and then setting it up over again when I want it back.
So can I still set whether the lock screen asks for PIN easily somehow? Is the only way to do this to undo the phone's encryption? I could do that easily enough, all partitions have been backed up in recovery just prior to encryption.
