Just in addition to my other reply... that was assuming it's not a government agency.
The police can just force you to do it, but they can't force a password.
Everyone using a passkey and biometrics on their hardware is law enforcements wet dream.
Including border security where you have less rights.
This exactly why I have a phone that lets me use two factors to unlock it, pin plus fingerprint!

This is why I always turn it off in airports though.
Pin to unlock phone
Fingerprint to unlock work profile.
