I've always wanted a setting to create a lockdown key and an unlock key. So something like middle-finger to unlock but index-finger to force it into PIN/password only mode. So you can have some convenience of a quick unlock but if an authority figure asks or forces you to unlock it you can one-tap lock it down.

In GrapheneOS, a single wrong fingerprint disables fingerprint unlock until the password is entered.

That's not correct. It just says not recognized, and let's you try again. I just tested it. Do you have documentation that it should work the way you said and mine is faulty?

Sorry, I misremembered, it's 5 times instead of 20: more secure fingerprint unlock
