@harib_murshidi@mastodon.social @corbet@social.kernel.org I guess there is that risk. But in my case I prefer not to use fingerprint as an unlock feature so it would be easy for me to develop good habits around it.
In fact, I should be receiving two Yubikey Nanos in the mail today
My multifactor authentication will be combo Yubikey (something I have) + PIN (something I know). Combine that with a fingerprint initiated phone wipe and I'll be invincible!

@IT_SME@mastodon.social @corbet@social.kernel.org I still don't understand how it will work, the biometric/figerprint works in an instant for other apps ! unless you put in some kind of timer which will trigger the wiping operation (keep the finger on for 10 seconds) otherwise I can think of many ways how things can go awry !
