#Need FaceID/Password to use widgets/scripts from the lockscreen on iOS

Hello ! First of all thanks for the great work, i've been using Home Assistant and the companion app for a little over a year and the improvements and overall work is amazing.

My issue is simple to explain, I love using widgets on my iPhone lockscreen (swipe left on the lockscreen) to control my lights, but for some reason I cannot find a way to do so without requiring my password or FaceID to unlock the phone before the action executes, which isn't practical when laying in bed or if I'm focused on the computer.
I tried tweaking the settings in iOS and in the Home Assistant app but nothing makes it change that behavior. I used to control my lights with a chinese app back when I didn't use Home Assistant and could turn on or off my lights without a password or FaceID, so I think it's possible but I don't see any mention of that problem anywhere when linked to HA.

If anybody reads this and is able to use widgets/scripts from their lockscreen (without unlocking it) on iOS i'd love to know if you did anything special to make it work.
Thanks for the help

If the option exists, it should be under the Passcode & FaceID configuration in iOS Settings

I checked there indeed and activated "Lock Screen Widgets", yet it still requires a password. I don't know if it's a problem with Home Assistant or with Apple. If someone could tell me it works fine on their device then I could ask Apple for assistance but I don't see any mention of my problem anywhere unfortunately

Anyone has an idea please?

I tested and it only executes if you unlock indeed
