Though it appears that most of the conversation here is about the Apple OS - many of us are using Android. The only "emergency" action I know of on Android is to simply turn your phone off if you can. When it reboots - the password is required before bio-metrics are re-enabled.

For completeness, the same is true of iOS.

  For completeness, the same is not true for iOS. At least not the bit about the only option being to turn your phone off.

    Ah, interesting. I was replying to the point about rebooting disabling biometric login, and glossing over the "only". (This probably explains the downvotes on my comment.)

On Pixels at least there's an optional lockdown button in the power menu. Disables all biometrics/smart lock, hides all notifications on lock screen, and more importantly doesn't say anything like "locked manually".

  Which is good, but you have to unlock it first to get that screen to come up. It would be nice if holding the power button down, or like others have said, using certain fingers, would put it in lockdown mode.

    The option comes up for me on the lock screen.
