Biometrics are lousy for security in so many ways. I have a pass code for my phone - blow it 10 times and the phone wipes itself.

I could get accustomed to ring-fingering my phone. How easy is it to set up “duress prints?” (android)

Apple is pretty good at protecting privacy. Seems like an app for the Apple Watch could detect the death of the wearer and lock or even wipe the users phone. Of course this would just give the cops a reason to take a victims watch and put it on their own wrist instead of giving lifesaving care.
