Faceid while wearing a hat or covering my chin or with half my face covered by a pillow:

“Who is this imposter”

Straight up I tried finger print unlock for less than a week before I cut the finger I used to unlock my phone so I had to change it.

Also a related unfun fact, you can be forced by the police to give biometrics but not information you know.‡ So having your devices lock via biometrics means that law enforcement can force you to unlock your devices.

‡ This applies to the US, I'm not sure if it applies elsewhere. IANAL YMMV

If you ever feel like you’re about to deal with a cop on your iPhone, mash the side button. 5x on the side button forces it into “ask for a passcode” mode. It’s emergency mode, but emergency mode forces you to out in a passcode to do anything other than show medical ID, turn off the phone (still trackable), or dial emergency services.

Yo I had no idea this is also on the pixel 4a thanks for pointing it out!

That's a legit security tip. To expound upon it, phones that support storage encryption are typically decrypted the first time you enter your password after powering on. So if you're travelling by air, stopped by cops, etc, you should consider powering down your phone.

I have my same finger scanned in 3 times dry and 5 times in varying degrees of wetness. Also two in pruny state. It mostly works. It's a pixel 7a which has a shit finger reader so you may be able to get away with one of each.

Edit. Just in case I'll clarify that the system thinks I registered 10 fingerprints but it's all my thumb.
