I use LineageOS with MicroG on my phone. If I quickly press the Power On/Off-button repeatedly it plays an alarm and dials a call for help. This is probably in all android versions, I don’t know.
I know biometric unlocking is dangerous, because it can be forced. But it’s incredible convenient 99,99% of the time. Wouldn’t it be rather easy to implement an option to switch off biometric unlocking when doing the emergency clicking? Or is there already another option? I’m sure I’m not the first genius to think about it.

    Well if you can stay pressed on the power button it should restart the device and it will be encrypted, with no biometric unlocking
