Smart Lock empty after update

Smart Lock empty after update

Today I had to update the Android software on my 10-days old (new ;)) telephone. Since the update the Smart Lock option doesn't work anymore. When I tried to figure out what was wrong I discovered that the Smart Lock screen is empty. The options I saw before are gone. So I cannot set Smart Lock anymore. Am I the only one with this problem? Does any of you know how I can fix this?

Same here! Which is lame, because now the screen off 'ok google' detection becomes less useful (it won't do a lot of things because the device stays locked).

How about we get updates that *fix* things instead of just introducing more bugs?

I'm on a holiday now. I don't know what I did, but I see the options again in the Smart Lock screen. Maybe bacause I switched my telephone off and on several times the last few days?

Its a android 8 bug

Solution:

Disable trusted agents on security settings. 

Restart phone

Enable security settings. Thats it.

thank you for the solution, it worked for me, i did have the problem after i updated my xz1 and i factory reset it and it was a waste of a whole day but worked for a min then i got that blank screen again. but i wanted to thank you so much for resolving this to us in a simple way.

Somehow I keep running in to this issue even after fixing it with the 'security agents' setting.

Has anyone been able to fix it in a way that persists? Right now I can't rely on being able to use my phone using my voice - as it might be locked again because of this bug.
