    The solution is so obvious that I suspect a conspiracy. Just allow OTHER actions to be performed based on the finger used. Maybe it's unlock, maybe it's power-off, maybe siren, maybe factory-reset.

      I've been looking forever for an android ROM that does this. Base it on fingerprints and pins.

      Surprised no one has used it to streamline multiple profiles for shared devices either.
