The legal situation is more complex and nuanced than the headline implies, so the article is worth reading. This adds another ruling to the confusing case history regarding forced biometric unlocking.

Or just use pin all the time, no face or fingerprint.

And then some random dude takes a peek at you entering said password, and steals the phone :/

GrapheneOS has an option to scramble the numbers on the unlock screen. I don't know if that's a base android thing or available on IOS

[–] fl42v@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

Correct. Not sure about iOS either, but many custom roms can, e.g. divestos, probably resurrection remix used to have it back when it was a thing (not sure here, but I distinctly remember having this feature somewhere before graphene)
