Select “Show Lockdown option” from the results, or the result that most resembles that.
Enter your pin if required.
Tap the associated slider to enable Show lockdown option
Now when you hold your power button, you get a “lockdown” option that disables biometrics and forces you to enter your passcode for the next unlock.
Particularly useful for me, as I have my phone set up to always be unlocked if my watch is close enough (maybe stupid of me), but I can force lock it at any time.
On some phones you won’t get anything when searching for “lockdown” but you most likely have it, it’s typically under Display > Lock screen > Shown lockdown option.

I appreciate you.

Yo! Where was this when my nephew was small and wanted to play Angry Birds on my phone lol
Or you could just hit restart on the phone and at least on android it asks for the code first before enabling finger print or face ID.
That’s pretty much how it works on iOS too as far as I can tell. Nothing boots up until you enter your pin
On iOS 18 there is a power button in the top right of control center (you have to hold it)
