With GrapheneOS you can enable the setting that requires you to use biometric identification to get to the passcode screen, which means you're always protected by both.

I do this, too.

Definitely worth it.

You may be able to install GrapheneOS on your phone.

I installed it on my Google Pixel, and I have no intention of going back to stock Android.

I hate you.

I hate the fact that I didn't get it and then not only closed the window and scrolled down to the end of the Lemmy page and then clicked on the next page, and then it loaded, and THEN I got it.

Do it with prejudice!

Counterpoint:

I diagnosed myself with something pretty significant using the internet, and then I went to get evaluated, and my suspicions were confirmed.

This would prevent a lot of good, in addition to preventing some bad.

It's a little like celebrating 250 years since the founding of the United States.

Technically you're correct, but so what?

On GrapheneOS, you can also set a "second factor PIN" in the unlock settings under "Fingerprint Unlock", so that to unlock your screen you need to first use the fingerprint unlock and then separately enter your PIN. This means BOTH are required every time you unlock. Your phone can't be unlocked unless it's your finger AND unless you enter the PIN that only you know.

And under the Screen Lock settings you can also enable "Scramble PIN input layout", so that the number buttons on your unlock screen will be out of order, so people watching you or recording you can't just make note of the shape your index finger is making when touching the numbers to unlock your phone(like people looking over your shoulder or recording on store security cameras).

I don't recommend a duress password of 1-1-1-1, because that could be set off accidentally.

The thing fiction authors never get right about villains is that evil people are evil in every aspect, not just evil in some.

There's no such thing as a sexually repressed slave owner.

I literally explained how meth is literally a chemical which performs the exact same mechanism as the medication that is prescribed to treat ADHD.

In layman's terms, if a person has ADHD and they try meth, part of the experience of meth is to have the ADHD treated.

And I don't mean that in a healthy way. Not at all. I do NOT advise people who have ADHD to use meth.

What I am expressing is that describing it as an addiction is dishonest framing, because it's literally causing the exact same effect that a person would get if they went to get a drug prescribed for their ADHD. There is an additional effect, sure. But it's not that meth created a biological need. The person was born with the biological need, and then they happened to stumble onto a drug that existed that had the effect of treating the unmet biological need. That's not addiction. That's having an unmet need your whole life and then having the need met, and not wanting to go back to having the need unmet.
