I have set up "OK Google" to recognize my voice from screen off.
This works great, however, when I use it, it requires me to enter my PIN/fingerprint to show the results.
Is there any way to turn this off? I find it kind of silly that I have to do that every time.
And as far as security reasons, the phone won't respond to anyone else, so it's not like someone would be able to "OK Google" and unlock my phone, unless they sound exactly like me.

I've been having this issue as well, I've been meaning to start a thread about it. It seems that trusted voice isn't working correctly - this is meant to unlock the device when it responds to your voice. Well that's my understanding anyway.
Ah I see what is missing. You have to enabled "Trusted Voice" in the security settings for smart lock. Once I did this, it now unlocks with OK Google.

I've already got this enabled yet 90% of the time it still brings up the PIN screen.
I too was confused by this. I was like.. well google now from screen off is totally useless if I have to unlock the phone after making my request. lol
All is good now. Thanks for the tip.

Unfortunately, trusted voice matching is still hit and miss. It can depend on the environment when you talk to it, or even on you if you have a cold or something else that effects you. The best option is to try retraining the voice recognition in the ok google settings; I had to do that once when I had a particularly poor match up.

Surely though if the phone responds to my "OK Google" and wakes it up it has recognised it as me though so should work?

While I don't have documentation to support my understanding, the best I've been able to put together is that "trusted voice" and "hotword detection" operate on different levels of accuracy. When you train it to recognize "Ok Google" in order to launch voice commands, it's attempting to better recognize you based on your enunciation and potential accent, where as the trusted voice is actually trying to match further, perhaps with things such as tone and pitch, in order to authenticate that its really you. For example, after training my phone, I can use "Ok google" to launch into voice commands when the phone is unlocked, or to bypass the unlock requirement when the phone is locked and execute a voice command. My wife, if she tries to immitate the way I say the phrase, can get my phone to launch into voice commands when the phone is unlocked, but if she tries while the phone is locked, it will require a PIN entry. It seems to be the same situation as what you're describing.
To me, this is exactly how it should work.

You should retrain your voice model then. Be sure to speak naturally and at a distance that you'd be speaking at the phone normally. I always practice a few times before hand to make sure I don't sound robotic like I am talking to an automated operator. "Speak to a representative..... Speak to a representative.... SPEAK TO A REPRESENTATIVE!"
You can use this app to pass that policy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luutinhit.doubletapscreenoff
I've noticed odd behavior with Google Now and the moto z force. I'm hoping someone else can confirm this Behavior. With the screen on, press the finger print sensor to lock the phone. Now press power button. The pattern or pin lock screen should come up. Without entering a pin or pattern now say Okay Google to launch Google Now. Say whatever you want to launch a search result and then press the home button. On my phone, The lock screen has been completely bypassed.
Edit: after doing some looking it appears as though Google Now has something called trusted voice which will unlock your phone if it knows your voice. Didn't know that was a thing and it's kind of creepy to be on by default. Google Now knows my voice. And fingerprints. And pictures of my face. Google's going to build a clone of me I know it
Is this available on 5.1.1 for the Note 4?
I dont see the option.
Also: when trusted places is on, even when the lock is disabled on my phone, "OK Google" from lock screen still thinks the device is locked, even when it isn't!
Trusted Voice would obviously fix this problem, but if there is a way to fix Trusted Places still not allowing "OK Google" to work even though the device technically is not locked.

I tried:
settings>language and input>Google Voice typing>Ok Google detection> enabled trusted voice but doesn't seem to be working with the screen off.
If the screen is on but the phone locked, saying ok google just prompts me to enter my PIN.
Does anyone have a clue?
I'm trying to get Google Assistant to work on my tablet. It works when the screen is on, but it does not respond when the screen is off. I think this is supposed to work. Has anybody gotten this to work?
