I always used the "swipe" system to open my phone. FoxFi forced me to use the numeric system to open the phone. Afterwards, I am unable to go back to the "'swipe". My wife had the same thing happen with her S4.

Anyone know of a way to force the phone to go back to the "swipe" method?

You'll have to go into system settings, security, and scroll down to "clear credentials". Then you can go back in and change your lock screen to swipe only. This is a major pita to have to do each time you want to use FoxFi, however there is a "fix" for this problem.
If you open up the FoxFi app in the play store and look in the FAQ section there are instructions on how to set this up so you don't have to keep clearing your credentials to get your swipe to unlock feature back. I also have the instructions saved somewhere, so I'll try and find them for you and update this post with that link when I get a chance.

Thanks for the suggestion, at first I didn't think it worked, it still wanted me to enter my pin. It did work, after I entered the pin, it then let me set up the swipe.

Thanks! If you find the instructions, please feel free to post them here.
