I don't because the police could force me to unlock the phone if I used my face or fingerprint. A gesture or password they cannot force from me.

Not that I have any reason to mistrust the police or anything, but ACAB, so, y'know.

Besides, I use Signal for anything good, and set it to erase at the end of each day. So I rarely need to hold out for long.

@oldladyplays @mlanger right? They can still get in, but there's more red tape to get those tools and they are lazy.

Seconding this response! Plus, biometric data has a tendency to change. If I find myself with my face damaged or changed in any way, resetting that seems like a true pain.

A PIN or pattern for unlocking is ironically more secure and more convenient.
