I dont get it. In that cenario, using Biometrics is not less secure as that wrench would convince you of telling the password.

Btw biometrics dont work on first boot on android, or after you used the wrong finger a few times on GrapheneOS. They will also implement a duress long-powerbutton-press feature in some future, to reboot the phone.

A password is safer because they will need you alive and conscious. To bypass the biometrics, you just need the body part.

At least they need to keep you conscious and able to speak if its a password tho. Small mercies.
