Biometric authentication (i.e., face or fingerprint scans) is awesome. It's convenient, as it's often faster to scan your face than to punch in a code, and secure, since you can't "guess" someone's fingerprint. In most cases, the move from PIN-only to biometric as the default was a win-win for everyone. However, it's not perfect. Biometric authentication is secure in the event someone runs off with your phone, but if you're still present when another person has control of your phone, the situation gets more dicey. All someone has to do is hold your phone up to your face, and they're in.

If you pull up the iPhone's power menu equivalent, you've immediately disabled biometric authentication. When you try to unlock your iPhone next, you won't be able to scan your face to enter. Instead, you'll see the PIN keypad, with a message that reads: "Your passcode is required to enable Face ID." It's a small difference, but one that has real security implications.
One UI's power menu will soon start blocking biometric authentication
As mentioned, this feature made its debut with the second One UI 9 beta. As such, it's still in testing, and there are no guarantees it will ship with the official version of One UI 9. If you want to try it (and any other One UI 9 features) now, you'll need to enroll your Galaxy device in the One UI beta program. Note that if you choose to install the beta, you may encounter unexpected bugs or glitches that could result in data loss. Make sure to back up your device and its data before enrolling in the beta program.
