Pretty much everybody pushing fingerprints as a sensible thing for accessing a device is fucking up. It is way too easy to obtain a persons fingerprints suitable for device unlocking without them knowing - and that’s ignoring that using fingerprints enables device unlocking with a persons finger against their will.

That’s why devices need something like Apple does that disables biometrics with specific button clicks
All android devices have a lockdown function that disables all but password unlock and hides all info from the lockscreen (notifications).
Anoyingly it’s disabled by default though, you have to explicitly enable it in lockscreen settings, then activate it from the power off menu.
Interesting. Apple you just hold volume up and lock and it disables biometrics. It’s like that by default
