    If you point a weapon at me in a way that would compel me to help you unlock my phone with fingerprint or face unlock, I promise you it would not be any harder for you to get me to unlock the device with the pin.

      You assume that you are conscious, or even alive in your scenario.

        If I’m not alive I don’t really care if they get the contents of my phone. My survivors can go through the same process I would for reversing a fraudulent transaction.

        And you’re picturing a criminal subduing me and then just crouching over my body and figuring out what financial apps I have and how to use them?
        What’s their game plan here? Most stolen phones are resold, not used to access their contents.
