My son has biometric access to my phone. From there, he can do everything. It works for me.
My son is the one human who matters the most to me -- there's a letter in there for him, too. I add to it periodically.
- oxfeed65261 4y agoAt least on an iPhone, biometric access won’t work if the phone has been powered off, such as due to the battery running out.
- jonas-w 4y agoOn my Samsung, it is probably the same on iPhone, i always need to enter my pin/password to be able to unlock it after a restart. After that 99% works with Biometric access but some things still need the pin/password.
- browningstreet 4y agoAhh yes, he knows the code too. But that’s a good point for others.
- cryptonector 4y agoWhat if the phone is destroyed or lost or stolen?
- browningstreet 4y agoWe have multiple iOS devices in our family plan, including multiple iPads. This works for now, with our current array of tech. My company offers a free sponsored account with one of those companies that offers after-death account and paperwork services. I intend to look into it, but don’t want anything tied to employment or to a company that’s not as likely to survive as it is for 20 years. Also, I should mention, all my passwords are in 1Password. That’s a known password too.
