Reply to comment by ListRepresentative32 in Android phone owner accidentally finds a way to bypass lock screen by redhatGizmo

That's not how I read this: they started from an unlocked state to get passed the fingerprint unlock screen. Did I miss something?

When a phone is rebooted, a password must be entered before touch id or face id will work.

In this context, "unlocked" doesnt mean you start from the home screen - it means the password was entered at some point since the phone was last booted up and is now in an unlocked state where touch/face id can be used.
