In Canada, there is a difference. A fingerprint is something you have. A password is something you know. Police can compel you to use your fingerprint to unlock the phone. They can't compel you to disclose the password.
There's a whole series that shows this. It's Canadian Border Guard, or similar. I see it when I cross the border, which I do with some frequency. I just unlock my phone for them.
It has never left my sight. I can't speak for others and didn't watch the show that carefully. I live so close to the border that my neighbors get Canadian television. So, I've seen it there. I don't actually have TV hooked up, so I don't see it often.
What I meant was that inside of Canada, there are situations where the police don't need a search warrant for your phone. You can unlock it with your fingerprint, so it's legally "open" and searchable.
If you have a passphrase, then they need to know your mind in order to unlock it, and they can't force you to disclose something you know.
Curiously, citizens aren't immune in Canada. I have dual citizenship and they still sometimes want to flip through my phone. No, I'm not sure why. They have had me power on and unlock my laptop a couple of times, as well.
