The answer to this used to be no, but iOS 11 made a number of changes that I don't fully understand yet; I think the answer is still no unless you have the device then you may be able to get an iCloud reset token.. but don't take my word for it. (at that point they already have your device though eh?)
As a side note I think people vastly underestimate how easy it is to capture you typing your password on a phone screen.. especially when you put it in the context of complaining about minor security implications of TouchID or FaceID. I would suggest it's typically much easier to watch you typing a password than to clone your TouchID .
- spacehome 9y agoIn the US, though, TouchID and FaceID are liabilities because the police can compel you to provide your fingerprint and face.
- extrapickles 9y agoThere are some protections against exactly this. If its been more than 48hrs since you last unlocked the phone or you turned off the phone, it will require your password again.

For small values of Liberty I guess. It's simply harassment, the kind that I would have expected in former Eastern Germany, Poland, Russia or any other state like that.

- jacquesm 9y agoThat's odd, it works for me.
- mindslight 9y agoSorry. I edited to add that it's based on country - information control (and its associated ambiguity) being another quality of totalitarianism.
