    Not sure about Android but IOS you can actually use FaceID for all the things you want like password managers, log into PayPal, and other biometric features but have it disabled to unlock the phone. It’s what I do, you don’t need to spam anything. Just use a pin to unlock.

      I’ve never understood people who are happy to give their biometrics to fucking PayPal and every other random company. Just use a password for everything.

        You don’t “give” your *biometrics to any of them. Your biometric data is used to encrypt and store each services password hash or auth token on your device.

        *At least when it comes to login authentication. Nothing stopping them from acquiring your biometric data from a hundred data brokers.
