- qingcharles 3y agoI promise you, from experience, it is not quick enough.
- olliej 3y agoI know, also from experience because it was something I specifically tested, I can do this in the time I take to pick up the device, or take it out of my pocket. Unless your concern is your device is out of your control when it is seized, in which case you could mitigate your concern by locking it when it will be out of your control, or if you really want to just never enable biometric authentication. Of course that puts you back in the bucket of every time you unlock your device it can be observed.

- olliej 3y agoSee the second sentence: "Unless your concern is your device is out of your control when it is seized, in which case you could mitigate your concern by locking it when it will be out of your control, or if you really want to just never enable biometric authentication"
