Can't change Lock password

Hello,
I don't know if i'm being very stupid or not but I can't seem to change the password to unlock my phone. I know the password but would like to change it. If I goto 'Start -> Settings -> Lock' It locks the phone, rather then giving me any options to change the password.
Am I looking in the wrong place or is the application not working correctly?
Thank you.

You're in the right place, just quitting too soon.
Go to Start/Setting/Lock and then unlock your phone with your current PIN and it should take you on to the password screen where you can change your PIN type, PIN #, etc. Kinda makes sense if you think about it...the screen to change your PIN is PIN protected.

Ahhh, yes..obviously.
Thanks.

Uhm let me see if I got this right:
For example you set face unlock, when you try to unlock the phone, the phone asks you for face unlock instead of the default unlock?
If that's the case, then yes. It's supposed to work that way.

u now using x z and it happens to u?
yeah i set for example face-lock mode, then the default disabled! and then i cannot return to default mode cause disabled by credentials and
i should factory reset it.
that default lock mode is not important but i thought it might be a problem or mistake by me!

Got it!
it s about Credentials that disabled swipe mode (default)
I removed credentials and then swipe became enable.

as in if you "clear credentials" at the bottom of that menu the default swipe unlock will return? does face unlock remain too?

it s about the level of security (in my experience)
if u choose high level for example pattern then the low level security will disable.
after i cleared all credentials all kind of lock screen return but for example my vpn connections losts
after that when i set pattern again and create vpn connections now i don have swipe again.
it seems logical rather than a bug.

Lock Screen Constant Slide Option

I have tried in my lock screen settings to change to pin or pattern but no matter what after I re-lock my phone I still get the option to swipe the screen and there is no pin or patter it goes right to the home screen. I am probably missing an option but there was no alternative options on my Galaxy S3. Any help guys?

unable to lock phone at all

Received the update 9, no issues noted after, then thought I would change my theme, and since then, nicluding after a reset of all settings, I can enrol my face, add fingerprint, set pattern and pin code, but when I push the power button to lock the phone, a simple swipe up unlocks it. I have done this while holding the phone away so the camera cant see my face (just in case its just speedy)
One thing that has me a little confused in 9 is the option where you select the lock option, I go to security & Privacy, lock screen password, and change lock screen password, then input my pattern and select change unlock method, and I have only 4 options, 4 pin, custom pin, pattern and password, no finger print or face recognition listed, and so I select pattern , input it twice, click done, then am prompted to associate fingerprint, which I say yes to.
Now, I lock the phone, press power to unlock, and have the option of the swipe up to unlock (no security period) the fingerprint does nothing other than unlock the phone without the need to press the button or swipe, but is easily bypassed by just ignoring it.
I cannot walk around with a phone that simply has zero security on so can anyone advise on things to try.
I have backed up the entire phone and would rather avoid a full reset if possible

Try changing theme download a 3d free one, when I did that it downloaded some engine, then my lock screen worked.
Seems the update doesn't change the theme, but prompts you to switch, if you don't it doesn't work.

thanks, but still nothing. I can find no way to make this damn thing lock

Go to Security & Privacy -> Lock screen password -> Smart Lock.
Check if you have any options enabled, it can be unlocked by location, bluetooth or even by motion.

Is there notifications on the lock screen?

I mean the lock screen, not the always on screen.
Notifications from WhatsApp will be shown on lock screen? There is option to answer messages from the lock screen?
Thanks

You can see messages yes, but you have to unlock to unswer, but i think this is with every android device

No, on a OnePlus Lockscreen interactions work without unlocking.
I#m searching for a possibility to change this too.
Unlocking before being able to answer and the Quick settings without unlocking would be really a great thing.
