How do you guys secure your devices? (sopuli.xyz)

Since I'm already expected to remember a complex master password for bitwarden, it seems a bit too much to remember another long password for my mobile device and another for my laptop.

Do you all use the another complex password as a screen lock? Or a simpler password/pin which is easier to remember? What about biometrics? Cuz guarding access to the device itself is as important as guarding the Bitwarden vault.

I have fingerprint biometrics protecting my phone's lock screen and the vault itself - I feel this is the biggest weakness in my security, both from weaker legal protections (there are situations where you cannot be compelled to give your password but your fingerprints aren't protected) and the fact that my phone has my fingerprints all over it.

My desktop just has a numeric PIN on the lock screen since you also need to enter the Bitwarden master password (and you need to be in my house to get the chance to type it in).
