He ment on the technological front... The fingerprint/face ID unlocks your device/opens the key manager in the background, it doesn't actually use your biometric data as "password"

But yes, it poses a risk by being forced/coerced to unlock a device

Yes, although I meant safe and secure as opposed to "sneaky KYC" 2FA like email and phone number.

From the point of view of a $5 wrench attack, I guess no tech is safe enough and the only realistic way to go about it is good opsec.

The thing is the police can easily hold the phone to your face or place your finger on the fingerprint

It's also legaly a lot led protected (don't really remember the exact terminology, but know that is a thing)

Again, we were talking about 2FA and KYC. Any device unlocking method is susceptible to a $5 wrench attack.
