USA courts have generally held that the Fifth Amendment protects passcodes but not biometrics. The Fifth Amendment guards against self-incrimination by prohibiting law enforcement from compelling individuals to provide "testimonial" evidence—something that reveals the contents of their mind, like a memorized passcode. In contrast, biometrics such as fingerprints or facial recognition are considered physical characteristics, not testimonial communication, so courts have ruled that police can compel you to unlock devices with them.

However, there is no nationwide consensus, and some state courts have interpreted these protections differently, leading to a patchwork of rulings across the country. Generally, though, passcodes are more likely to be protected under the Fifth Amendment than biometrics.
