unless you use your fingerprint or face to unlock it (iphones and many androids have a key combo that quickly locks your phone and disables biometrics until you unlock it again with your pin or password. google it. useful in duress situations, but some manufacturers (in my case xiaomi) remove the feature. it doesn't prevent the stealing of all available data on your phone in case your attacker happens to own a cellebrite device and takes your phone away for a few hours (almost nothing can prevent that, except grapheneos), but it prevents quick in-the-moment abuse.)

Jokes on them, my fingerprint scanner refuses to recognize my fingerprint 75% of the time. Maybe because I use GrapheneOS

Yeah, but that's more a threat if the state gets ahold of your device. I'm not worried about them getting to my digital payment methods, they could probably just empty my bank account if they really wanted without ever having my phone.
