In addition to the above methods, there is still another method who probably know only very few of you:

The Direction Lock can be unlocked by drawing a series of four to eight directions. Possible directions are: up, down left and right. This function to unlock the lock screen can be set as follows on the Samsung Galaxy S6:

Open from the home screen: Menu --> Settings --> Accessibility  --> direction lock

This can now be enabled by the controller placed at the top. Immediately a small wizard opens that helps you to set up the direction lock. Enter now the direction sequence.
