Are you trolling or just this ignorant? If you’re referring to the US laws on this, a PIN can’t be required from you. Any biometrics can. So a PIN already protects you from the authorities using their legal route to get into your phone via your compliance.

I’m saying that PIN is inconvenient. Most people prefer fingerprint over PIN because it’s so much more convenient but it means you can be easily forced to unlock your phone. Pattern is a nice compromise but GrapheneOS developers decided to remove it because they consider it not secure enough. Which is baffling because PIN is just as easy to steal just by looking at someone’s screen.
