A thief flags you down, grabs your phone and makes you unlock it using your thumb.
A cop opens the cop car door, grabs your hand and unlocks your phone, or even easier, face unlock.
Granted, guns and torture are rather effective as well, but is anyone entirely against fingerprint unlocking?
Hmm sound like something a meth dealer would say
And yeah android does have a lockdown button, if you press and hold the power button, its in the options.
Alternatively you can quickly spam the wrong finger over the sensor a few times until it requires the pass code, which will work for iOS too.
For those of us, that opens G-Assistant by just pressing the power button:
Power + Vol up
Neither option works on my Xiaomi Mi 10t Lite 5g, with the MIUI overlay :(
It may vary between models. Mine if you spam the wrong finger it just counts down 30 seconds before you can try again. But restarting does force a pass entry before fingerprint will work again. I guess the caveat is you have to be able to hold down the power and then select a restart.
I assure you. I’m not a meth dealer. Really. I don’t know what else to tell you!
Thanks for answering my question.
Methinks the meth dealer doth protest too much.
