I use biometrics for apps and such, but not my phone. Having worked apple support, the number of people who only used their fingerprint and their phone was restarted for whatever reason leading them to have to know their password, which they forgot... is numerous.

I suppose this is why Android occasionally refuses to take your fingerprint and says "for your security, enter your password."

My phone says that's a 3 day timer

iOS does this as well so I have no idea how people manage to forget their passcodes
