Or just use lockdown mode in android to force phone to only unlock with password
How is that different from the usual way of having a password as your way of accessing your phone?
lockdown mode is a button that comes up with the power menu. they mean turn it on when you're pulled over or whatever
Logically, seems less safe
Practically, I DO miss unlocking the screen with my thumb 🤣
Its temporary. Just something you can quickly switch on in case of an interaction.
