Android Central Question

I have an S9 with the fingerprint, eye scan, and pattern lock, all the security I could put on my lock screen. When my phone is in sleep mode, I've realized that if I press the Bixby button, and choose my email, it bypasses the lock screen (all that security) and it takes me into my phone to my email. This means anybody can access my phone by simply bypassing the lock screen by using the Bixby button.

I know I can disable Bixby, but I don't want to - I actually like some of the features. Is there a way to access Bixby from sleep mode, but not allowing Bixby to get passed the lock screen without password, eye scan, etc.?

If there isn't a way, then the phone shouldn't bother having you set up all the security for the lock screen when Bixby is enabled; there's no point.
