My iPhone forces password entry after 5 failed attempts at TouchID unlock. If you can quickly thumb the sensor a few times, you can render fingerprint unlock impossible.
Better to disable anyway, but it's an option.
- StavrosK 10y agoExactly this. If they can force you to give them a fingerprint, but not a password, just reset the phone. You haven't destroyed anything, the data is still there, it's just inaccessible without the password.
- mysticmarvel 10y agoOne possible threat here could be access being gained another way (court-order to provide text key), then with the device unlock key known being required to try each finger in sequence to identify if you provided a genuine try to unlock the device. Could be seen as obstruction (IANAL).
