Remember...they can make you use touch id...they can't make you give them your password.

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it.

Reminder that you can press the iPhone power button five times to require passcode for the next unlock.

In case anyone is wondering: In newer versions of MacOS, the user must log out to require a password. Locking screen no longer requires password if Touch ID is enabled.

Settings -> lock screen -> “Require password after screen saver begins or display is turned off”

Even with that option set to "Immediately" you can still use Touch ID after locking.

I am not sure how it works on Macs, but on iPhone, after first unlock after a reboot, it’s trivial for law enforcement to break into your iPhone - the same with Android.
