@Nooblet132: When you set up you Fingerprint biometrics, you would have been prompted to set up a PIN, pattern or password as part of the process. In accordance with the Android security policy, your A14 will request your backup security option under the following conditions.
- If you have used and unlocked the device using Biometrics including Fingerprints or Facial recognition in the past 24 hours.
- If 4 hours pass without an additional unlock operation after unlocking your device using Fingerprints or Facial recognition.
- If 72 hours pass after unlocking your device using a PIN, Pattern or Password while fingerprint is set as screen lock type.
This is an intended response for enhanced security of your device. Additionally, you can only use a PIN, Pattern or Password to unlock the screen after restarting the device or when you don’t use the device for more than 24 hours.
If you can't remember your password, I recommend signing in to Find My Mobile to see if you're able to remotely unlock the device from here. For further guidance, please refer to the steps in the link below.

Twice now, after updating software on my f20FE, my phone completely locked and asked for a password.
It is not asking for your security pin as it only allows you to imput letters.
It's actually asking for your Samsung account password ! Hope this helps and saves everyone some money as it cost me £30 to unlock it the first time 😤🫣
