Forgive me for bringing back an old thread...just adding my experience and 2 cents...
I second Sachin's comment regarding this being Samsung's doing. I also have a HTC One M7 (work) and it allows 4 app icons on the lock screen, where only the camera does not need to be unlocked using a Pin/Password. I've been using HTC for a while for work and carrier does not matter as I have AT&T (work) and VZW (personal) carriers. My new S4 (personal) on Android KitKat 4.4.2 does not allow this functionality that many here are complaining about.
UndercoverAlien provides probably the best solution to bypass Samsung's shortsightedness. I will give GoLocker a try as it looks to be the closest to the HTC's functionality.
