Cracked phone screen locked me out of all my Joplin notes

Current behaviour

I have biometrics enabled on my Joplin app. After cracking my phone screen the biometric identification on my Pixel Pro 6 no longer works properly. I can't even retrain the fingerprints. There does not appear to be any way to access the app at all in this case -- by design, I imagine.

Expected behaviour

Have a backup code in place to allow access in case of hardware failure.

If you disable biometric on the device, then restart your phone, then Joplin should no longer ask you for your fingerprint

I have tried disabling fingerprints and restarting, but Joplin is still asking me for my fingerprint.

That's strange, normally it's supposed to follow the phone setting. What if you enable it again, then delete all your fingerprints, disable it again, and restart your phone?
