It's missing from Pixel devices as well, so it's a Google decision. Not sure if Samsung will have any influence in this change 😞.

Hopefully a bug.

Your best option is to use Bixby Routines.

It is IF /Then Logic and a veryery powerful tool.

I have not been using the Google unlock method for a couple of years now.

Bixby Routines is where it's at!

I've got the same issue. Having to unlock the phone constantly. Extended lock looks the same as your screenshot. Hope they bring that back.

Created a new mode in Modes and Routines that I called connected devices. Set it up to trigger automatically when connected to my car or Samsung watches, setting it to keep phone unlocked.

Works. As soon as I saved it, the mode activated and phone is unlocked. Will lock after 4 hours or when all devices are disconnected which is the same as extended lock.

If they have permanently removed this feature from extended lock, they should add a mode as part of the preset modes.
