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?
Disable biometrics.
If you care about privacy, don’t use biometrics.
It is sad because it is less convenient, but that’s what’s up.
Yeah just don’t use biometrics.
Odds of me getting arrested or stopped and interrogated and involuntary made to unlock my phone are near zero, but I still use a pattern to unlock. IMO pattern is most secure, because it cant easily be described verbally like a pincode, and it gets harder to do the more confused I am, so smacking me round the head or isolation and sleep deprivation would not improve my chances of accidentally describing the pattern. Note that I’m not an activist, criminal, reporter or political adversary, and I live in a very safe and democratic country so the likelihood of these things happening is very slim, but I still put a big emphasis on opsec when it comes to my technology.

Since you’re on grapheneos you could always set up the 2 factor unlock when using biometrics. You would then unlock your phone using fingerprint and a pin. This way even if you’re forced to unlock the device they’d still need your secondary pin to unlock. The pin can be much shorter than your main password so its still fast to unlock.
Carry a lighter to remove your fingerprints if captured?
I don’t get this thread… if you’re captured they can ask for anything
