  • While that’s the strongest security option in that situation, it might cause more problems if they are forcing you to unlock your phone in front of them and you’re being observed. Same issue with the lockdown feature. Failing the fingerprint intentionally is invisible to the hostile observer and let’s you feign ignorance as to why you phone got locked.


  • You intentionally fail the biometrics a few times so it locks the device and requires the pin/password. From there it depends on the country. In the US, they can’t force you to give up a password, but they can force biometrics. If your country doesn’t legally protect you then there’s no software measure that can’t protect you at that point.

    Cuz I went from the 6a to the 8 and it’s definitely much better and rejects a lot less. The 8a has the same sensor. Still has the annoying bright backlight though, unlike the Samsung in display fingerprint sensor. But it’s not really a big deal if you’re already used to it on the 6a and it doesn’t bother you.
