S8 - How to power off phone with security?

[Lim]

Hi folks,

Is there such a feature in Samsung's devices where you can enable security when powering off your phone?

I remember I used to have such feature enable in my S7, everytime I want to power off my S7, my phone will prompt me for the password which is the pattern lock that I have chosen.

I couldn't find it on my S8.

After unlocking the screen with the Pin code the "lock my phone" setting disables, and you have to do it again. Im wondering how did it work for you just like that? I've checked my settings again and again and could not find any solution... quite a big bug/security gap from samsung i would say..
