For Android:
Now when you hold your power button, you get a "lockdown" option that disables biometrics and forces you to enter your passcode for the next unlock.
Particularly useful for me, as I have my phone set up to always be unlocked if my watch is close enough (maybe stupid of me), but I can force lock it at any time.
On some phones you won't get anything when searching for "lockdown" but you most likely have it, it's typically under Display > Lock screen > Shown lockdown option.
I appreciate you.
