I think you can have only pin . I have fingerprint and pin All 3 it's good mobile ...for money and beats some big time ones I'm very happy with it Yes, you can use a pin or shape as well. I have had mine since December and still very happy with it. Can set to pin as well Yes it does have a fingerprint scanner Theres no code entry but it has pattern entry as well as face recognition and fingerprint. I am loving it. Fast response and very long battery life You do not need finger print or face. You can use pin lock as my husband has this phone and he didn't set it up with face or finger print####[['mobile', 'Overall#Overall', 'positive'], ['happy with', 'Overall#Overall', 'positive'], ['fingerprint scanner', 'System#Lock Screen Design', 'positive'], ['response', 'Seller Service#Timeliness of Seller Service', 'positive'], ['battery life', 'Battery/Longevity#Battery Life', 'positive'], ['code entry', 'System#Lock Screen Design', 'negative'], ['pattern entry as well as face recognition and fingerprint', 'System#Lock Screen Design', 'positive']]
