That's why passwords are safer in this situation. Cops can't compel you to reveal it.

You can use the lockdown mode on Android, but you have to remember to turn it on.

Android: Search settings for “Lockdown” and enable “Show lockdown option”

When needed hold the power button and the lockdown option will appear alongside the standard power menu options.

IOS: Hold the Lock button and either volume button to show the power off screen. Cancel out and FaceID will be disabled until you use your pin to unlock the phone.
