Disable The Screen Lock; Device Security - Samsung Galaxy S7 edge User Manual

Use a Fingerprint Screen Lock
With a Fingerprint screen lock, swipe your finger over the Home key.
Note: Before using the Fingerprint screen lock option, you will need to register your fingerprint on your
phone.
1. From the Screen lock type menu, tap Fingerprints.
2. Follow the prompts to set up your fingerprints.
Note: Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to enhance the security of
your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor confusing even small areas of two different
fingerprints is very low. But in rare cases, the sensor may recognize a fingerprint that is similar to a
registered fingerprint.
