On my Verizon Galaxy S8+ I can Bypasses the fingerprint requirement and pin by just clicking the power button or home button, saying ok Google, and backing out. Seems like a rather big oversight

I wouldn't call it an oversight.. Ok Google uses trusted voice.. You are the only one that should
be able to do that. I do it now, and have done that on the S7 edge

Initially you were able to unlock your phone with trusted voice from a complete lock screen IF it was being charged.

This no longer works for me. I have to wake the screen up ie press the power or home button, then say Ok Google and it will unlock.

Do you know if Google deliberately changed this feature because it happened to mine and my wife's phone at the same time.
