    How does it work? Can someone use a specified finger to trigger the password requirement?

          It’s not, technically, but if I have sensitive documents on my phone and a law officer is trying to get me to unlock my phone, I will be entering and/or putting the duress code into my phone. GrapheneOS has ‘lockdown’ button by ‘restart’ and ‘shutdown’ all of which will require a passphrase to unlock, even if you normally have fingerprint enabled for X hours each time of use.

          So it’s semi-related in that GrapheneOS protects against this type of attack.
