Lock your phone, swipe down and try power off your device; does it prompt you for a passcode/password? 

[RodriPT]

Yes i folled your steps but my lockscreen version is 8.8.8.51.7

Hey it works but only when im on the lock screen. It doesnt work when im on the home screen is that possible also on the home screen?

[Bindex]

No, it doesn't work when your phone is unlocked & on the home screen. That setting only applies to when the phone is locked and on the lock screen.

Really don't understand why only anyone would want this.

To turn your device off using the screen requires at least two touches and using the side key you have to press it hard for a few moments.

So it is unlikely to turn off "accidentally" so to speak.

But each to their own.

That's not the reason. It's to prevent someone powering it down if it's stolen. You can't track it if its powered off
