    That’s cool, I guess, though I’ll never use it for obvious reasons.

      With the lockdown on Android apps I was thinking of switching to a linux phone, what happened?

        You should not use biometric identification because it’s much easier to force you to unlock the phone than with a pin or password.

          To be more specific

          What you know is legally protected. What you are is not.

          I’m not, and not what I asked.

            I think there were two levels of misunderstanding, by bad.

            In my understanding jlow (OC) is talking about not using biometric identification, and you misinterpreted it as not using Linux on Fairphone. I then misinterpreted your comment to mean “why should I not use biometric identification when I switch to Mobile Linux” and responded to that.
