The laws surrounding 5th Amendment protections and biometric passwords are still undecided, so just turn it off.

    ## How to disable Face ID through the Power Off screen

    1. Hold down both the Side Button and either Volume Button at the same time for three seconds.
    2. The Power Off slider should appear. Tap Cancel.

    You actually don’t need to hit cancel, you can just hit lock, so you can do this whole thing with your phone in your pocket.

    This is easier and less intrusive than the lock-button-5-times method because it doesn’t start making a phone call that you have to quickly cancel.
