Interesting to see this one pop up again.

Steve Lehto did a good overview of this from a legal perspective

Especially the warrant argument. Dude was on parole, warrant would be an easy get instead of just being lazy.

I can't find a lockdown mode in MIUI.

One way to enforce the PIN unlock in MIUI if you have it with fingerprint unlock is to tap the fingerprint scanner five times with the wrong finger and it will ask for the PIN. After entering the PIN the fingerprint will work again.

I forgot my passcode.

What then?

Jokes on them, my biometrics don't work most of the time and I have to enter my pin anyway.

Maybe make that tapping your finger on scanner will actually wipe device?

can you set your phone to log into a different..desktop, for lack of a better term, if biometrics are used? while your main is hidden behind a passcode?

AlternativeeEmergency PIN for deleting the Phone

Per the article, I wonder if they have to "mash" the thumb, or if they can simply press it? 🙄
