    Both iPhone and Android have ways to disable biometrics until the next unlock via password/code.

    Iirc, on iPhone, it was pushing the power button 5 (or 7?) times. On Android, long press the power button and select “lock”.

      I configured my Graphene OS to require both fingerprint and passcode to unlock. I also have a “duress passcode” that I can input to wipe the device.

        Is it possible to setup this way;:

        1. One password gets into your first profile that is protected with a
        2. Duress passcode
        3. 2nd password/just fingerprint gets you into a 2nd profile, that is, everything you don’t care about…

        I haven’t tried graphene but thinking about it now…

      Press the power button and one of the volume buttons for 3 seconds.
