"The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it."
This is another great example of why securing your devices with biometrics is almost as bad as not securing them at all.
Passwords are protected in the USA, whereas law enforcement can force you to unlock with fingerprints or faces.
It's not worth the tiny bit of extra convenience.
