With regard to turning off biometrics, a phone will require password after startup. There may also be a keypress available to lock the phone and require password to unlock. The reason you want that is because lkaw enforcement can legally force you to unlock your phone with biometrics, but they can't legally force you to give up your password.

I am fully aware that the word "legally" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
