If you have a contact card set up, ask Siri "What is my name", then click on the mail icon. It will present all of your email addresses. (This works for me when I activate siri with my pinkie finger, which isn't a registered fingerprint.)

"Who owns this phone?" or "who does this phone belong to?" will answer the question, too, if Siri is enabled, and is useful knowledge if you find an iPhone. This includes numbers if they are on the "Me" contact card. I just tried it on mine and it dumped everything from my contact card including my mother and father, BUT, I have had my phone returned in minutes from someone who knew to ask so it's a mixed bag. If you're not cool with that, you can configure Siri to only function when unlocked. I used to operate that way, but especially controlling music in the car and fumbling with Touch ID when fingers aren't cooperating, I grew tired of it and went back.

Good catch, works for me as well. Pops up with my first name, last name and email address.

This is the reason why I disable Siri from being used on the locked screen. It's barely inconvenient to have to unlock with fingerprint before being able to activate Siri, and the amount of information you can grab from a "locked" phone via Siri is scary.

  Is there no way to disable sensitive requests from the lock screen? My Android phone has an option under voice settings to disable "Personal results" when the phone is locked.

    With Siri, it's all or nothing. Either it is enabled on the lock screen, or completely inaccessible. It does have limits when enabled, where it will force you to unlock before inquiring deeper into the system. I can't remember exactly what kind of tasks I was able to accomplish with it enabled, but it was too much for me were it to land into a thief's hands. In any case, with the Touch ID it's barely an inconvenience to unlock before holding the home button to activate Siri. It's like 1.5 presses of the home button rather than a full 2. I'm not sure why they haven't put in the effort to allow you to hold down the home button once to activate Siri with a read of the fingerprint. They prioritized that action for Apple Pay. shrug

Actually, if I do that (pressing with an unregistered knuckle) Siri proceeds to ask for my passcode first.

  Siri asks for passcode if I explicitly ask for email or even phone number, but gives me the contact sheet if I ask for name. But I should mention that I'm running iOS 10 at the moment, so it could be a regression. Also, "send email to YOUR NAME HERE" will present a list of email addresses if you have more than one.
