Fold & Flip Phones
Hello, I have a Zfold, I have biometrics active to unlock my phone but I was wondering if there is an option to force the phone to ask for the pin or password to unlock.

I know ios and iPhone have that option that you press volume up in the lock screen and disables face recognition until the phone is unlocked using the pin or password. 

I want to prevent someone who gets control over my phone to unlock it just pointing to my face.

Thanks!

You should be able to put the phone in lockdown mode. Settings/lock screen and AOD/secure lock settings. Enter your pin/password and turn on show lockdown option. This will put an extra option on the power off screen called lockdown. Tapping this will immediately lock your phone and turn off biometrics. You will need to enter your pin or password to unlock the phone. If you use extend unlock, you can also enter lockdown mode by long pressing the open lock icon on the top of the lock screen. I am not sure pressing the lock on a locked lock screen will turn off the biometrics, but it's worth a try. However, if someone has control over your phone, it's doubtful that you will have the time to react (especially if you are deceased or unconscious) to turn the feature on. If you are that concerned about the possibility, you should just keep the biometrics off.  If you don't trust your housemate while you are sleeping, that's a whole other can of worms.

Thank you! I thinks this is similar, I tried and it asks for pin instead of fingerprint or face ID. Thank you!
