In Japan, following the incident in which smartphone data was "stolen" during immigration screening in the United States, there has been a bit of buzz about advice to disable passkeys (biometric locks on devices) and switch to passcodes.

The reason for this is said to be that, unlike biometric authentication, there is a high possibility that people will be able to refuse to present a passcode under the Fifth Amendment to the US Constitution. Is this true?
