Two Factor Authentication

[Sciplefirm]

I have just ordered the 6p and this will be my first phone with a fingerprint scanner. I currently use a 10 character pin (not my phone number) to unlock my phone. Is there a way to have to use both the fingerprint and then a pin to unlock? I'm a defense attorney and have client information on my phone and would like the two factor authentication as opposed to two step verification.

Thanks,

I'm not sure if you can use both a pattern and the fingerprint scanner to lock your phone. I can tell you that this is my first fingerprint scanner as well. I set it up to use my index finger from both hands. Just to test, I tried unlocking with another unscanned finger and the phone wouldn't let me in so I've got to believe the scanner is pretty secure (obviously unless someone gets a hold of your fingerprints).

A fingerprint can be compelled, while a pin is protected under the 5th amendment. As a criminal defense attorney, client info is important.

I wasn't aware of that. Why not call Google Support directly and ask them the question?
