I've seen it, but don't see how to actually set up a trusted voice. What am I missing?

It's not the factory reset, it's the latest Google Play Services version that you should have now, it now has that and it seems to have finally fixed the Smart Lock by Location that wasn't working.

According to an article I read last week, Smart lock by Voice is the least secure of all the Unlock options, so I'd be very careful using it, and even more in a device with a Fingerprint scanner that is so fast and work so great like ours.

Sorry, I don't follow.....How does one reacquire the Unlock-by-voice option?

Is this the feature that you can use to say "ok google" even when the phone is on a lock screen or stand by?

Xbox one has a feature like this to turn the device on when it is shut off.

It was supposed to be added with latest Google play services version, check in application Manager in the All tab, check Google Play Services version latest one is 7.3.29.

No, this smart lock works with Bluetooth devices, location and now The Voice, when it's set it will unlock automatically when detects the trigger.
