In the US at least, the law allows state actors to compel you to unlock your phone or computer using biometrics. They cannot demand the same with a password or PIN.

I fully agree with you. I use biometrics but if I’m in a situation where I think I might be pressured to unlock my phone for direct state surveillance, I.e. security or customs at the airport, I’ll just restart my phone then so it prompts for a password. Whatever suits your threat model
