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?

I'm not quit sure but I believe i found a solution. I thought about how smart Lock functions work in relation together so I deactivated some functions and I only left location, voice and devices on. Since a week I didn't have to turn off trust agents/reboot the phone. Also all Google assistant features work again.

But maybe it was a update from Sony at the same time...

Uhm interesting. I was actually about to reply, leading to that conclusion as well. 

So basically the problem is either Body Detection or Trusted Face. Probably the first one though ...

I can also confirm this, tried and worked. 

Smart lock screen was empty,

Go to settings/Apps/App permissions/Body sensor. 

Disable google play services.

Then bingo! smart lock screen came back Slightly_smiling_Face

Neyzen, the problem is not bring back the Smart Lock page (we already know how, read previous pages). The problem is keeping it. For more than a few days. 

Anyway. Let's see if this solution holds up...

I guess I spoke too soon. After 12 days, the Smart Lock page went blank again as usual.

Hi guys, I think I've solved the issue, you have to enable Google Pay as device manager and reboot!

Sorry, can you say what you did? Where did you enable it?

Maybe on my german phone it has another name. Face_with_rolling_Eyes

I found a fix on another entry: /t5/Xperia-XZ1-Compact/Smart-Lock-vanished/m-p/1328518#M3293

To temporarily fix:

Settings > Lock Screen & Security > Trusted Agents - Turn off

Restart Device

Repeat the above and turn Trusted Agents back on

Xperia XZ2 Compact - Blank Smart Lock page

My Smart Lock worked fine until today. I don't think I received an update recently. In any case, when I go into Settings and navigate to the Smart Lock settings page, it's blank. Restarting the device doesn't help.
