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

    Maybe don’t live in a fucking dystopia. The US is a police state and you have no freedom left.

      While I buy you’re general cynicism, it’s wrongly applied here …

      It seems like we have both more and less protections than other places, for this instance.

      • while it’s not entirely settled case law, you can NOT be compelled to give up your passwords. Different states differ and they’re constantly trying
      • however biometrics are counted as public knowledge, so you have no protections

      This is more of a scenario where legal contortions turn into huge inconsistencies, plus our legislature has refused to clarify so it’s all on the court system
