It’s why I don’t have biometrics enabled on my phone. Security over convenience.

This is not news. Jesus Christ. This has always been true since very shortly after Face ID and Touch ID came on the scene (over 10 years!)
Not cyberpunk.m, r/lostredditors.
Cyberpunk is a sub genera of science **fiction**, this isn’t a fiction.
Usually you can post things like that in r/ABoringDystopia but this is interesting so maybe in r/latestagecapitalism? They would probably like it.
1. Well Duh.
2. Doing anything illegal with your phone on you is dumb.
If you’re doing crime only use pin and set a boot encryption as well.
Courts have ruled they can use face / finger but you can’t be compelled to give up a pin under the 5th.
Or just don’t do crime…but if you do be smart.
Not really cyberpunk
But if you’re worried about having your fingerprint used to unlock the phone, rather than your pin, if you hold the power button and volume button long enough for the power down menu to appear, then it’ll force the phone to only accept passcode for the next login, even if you have Face ID or a fingerprint enabled
For iPhone at least. But I imagine others are similar
