Complex password, work phones suck but at least I don’t have to pay for it.

Officer: Were you texting while driving?

Me: Shiit, I can’t even unlock my phone while driving.
 
PIN. The fingerprint reader on my S24 Ultra sux, and in my state the cops can't make you enter a pin, but they can use biometrics to unlock your phone. Yet.

The in-screen fingerprint readers are awful. I don't know what was wrong with having them on the back of the phone?
 
Fingerprint(on the back). I have the concerns nOOky has, but a fast unlock is important to me for work. The alternative is to remove security when I need to be fast for work, then hope nothing happens while I'm there, and remember to replace security. Fingerprint seemed to be the lesser of two evils.
 
Face unlock or fingerprint unlock in the front of the screen or pin. I use them all. I used to have issues with the front fingerprint recognition until I really took the time to train it on each finger, now it's quite good..

I also use things like when I'm at home my phone stays unlocked or if I'm connected to certain Bluetooth devices, the phone also stays unlocked.

You're already on several lists so...😀


Me, too, prolly.
 
I usually use fingerprint, but I have a complex password instead of a simple PIN.
 
I don't really keep much that's sensitive on my phone. I'm just an asshole. There may be taxes on the phone. Biggest thing would probably be my password database, but good luck with that password :^D
 
My activated Android phone requires PIN to start, fingerprint to unlock.

My 2 unactivated androids require a swipe pattern if they don't realize it's me holding them.
