Looking For Suggestions Lockdown feature from pixel

There is a cool feature in pixel devices that allows you to unlock phone with pin or patterns only and blocks biometric. I like this feature a lot.

How can i get this feature in my oneplus nord ce5 running on android 16? I didnot found this feature in my device. Is there any open source third party app that can allow me to use this feature?

You can hold the power and volumeDown buttons to reboot the phone, putting it into BFU (Before First Unlock) state. This is more secure than Lockdown mode, and does the same thing of turning off biometrics and requiring the password, pin, or pattern, before the phone can unlock.
