I’ve already planned to spam the lock button for a few seconds if something like that came up (iPhone) it triggers the emergency settings and disabled unlock without a passcode.

You can also just hold a volume button + power. That will bring up the power / emergency screen and will require a non biometric password for the next unlock.
