Hmm. There is some brolegal advice (brolegal because I can’t verify it other than people talking about it on the internet) that suggests hard locking your phone may prevent access by LEO. IOW forcing the phone to require a code entry to unlock it by resetting/power off/on the phone so that faceID and fingerprint no longer work.

I've NEVER allowed fingerprint or facial rec on any of my phones. I just got a new one, and I skipped right over that page. You are going to have to be nice enough to me that I will give you my password and pattern.
