You can hit the power button 5 times to accomplish the same thing as well.

Your comment and the one above should be shared widely these days. Everyone should know this.

On Android the lockdown option shows next to the shutdown, requires a code instead of a bio

Everyone should just not use these methods to unlock their phones in the first place. Pressing a power button 5 times, or holding a power button for 10 seconds, or pressing and holding buttons until the emergency screen appears are very easy things to do, at least until there is a cop in your face grabbing your phone and putting you in cuffs.
