I really like the convenience of using fingerprint unlock for lockscreen and password manager. I do however don’t like the thought of being forced to unlock both physically.

I use Android with GrapheneOS.

I have set up lockdown, but it takes some time to hold the power button and then click lockdown.

Any creative solutions?

    Thats kinda interesting. If I use an unusual finger, and there is a limited amount of tries. I still get somewhat the convenience of biometrics, but can still massively increase the odds of too many attempts.

      That’s what I did when I had a fingerprint reader— I used a non-tip part of one of my fingers. So if “forced” I’d just work my way through my fingertips and it would lock out.

      This had the benefit that if someone had already watched which finger I used in the past, the print still wouldn’t match.
