I don't know what kind of phone you have, but iOS has an option to automatically wipe the device after N code failures. Thus the whole San Bernadino phone situation. Fingerprints are not trivial to obtain, and are even harder to reproduce. I use a hyper-complicated password on my phone with TouchID, so I only have to enter it once when the phone is booted. After that, I'm on fingerprints. If I were coerced into unlocking my phone, I would just use the wrong finger a few times in order to trigger the requirement to re-enter the password.
