How can I change my lock screen setting to timeout after 20 seconds?

I think most phones don't allow you to set a timeout for the lockscreen (but I'm not sure about the S9, because I don't have one). @Galactic Zoo, can you confirm this exists on the S9, or were you thinking about the general screen timeout (which should only be for when the screen has been unlocked)?

Right, and that setting is only for how long it takes for the phone to lock after the screen turns off.

But it doesn't affect how long the lockscreen stays on, which I don't think can be adjusted manually. I think some phones will shorten that duration even more if a power-saving mode is turned on.

If power saving mode is on it can shorten what ever it's at, for example if you choose from that screen 1 minute that means it will not lock which ask to fingerprint or password/pin until that time out met
