I really wish Apple would offer two-factor auth in the form of fingerprint then PIN. Is that an option on the iPhone Xs with Face ID?

It's something I feel Windows Hello gets right some of the time, but not enough recognition for. Windows Hello can be set to (and I believe defaults to) require PINs/passwords on the first time a device boots up or asks a security challenge, thereby the face rec or thumbprint ID challenge itself is only for "repeat" checks / secondary factor.

This is what Android has done since biometric auth support was added.

It is not. If you prefer, you can use just a password, in lieu of Face/Touch ID, but there's no support for requiring both to unlock.

That's what I do on my phone. I have a fairly lengthy passphrase and Smart Lock.

Then what happens when it can’t read your fingerprint or face?
