This is honestly something Android should have years ago. But it's never too late to get it. Should save ton of time for everyone involved and keep better user privacy

It's already impossible to unlock the phone without a password. Who leave their phone unlocked and need this ?

It's there so the repair technicians can check if your phone works fine without actually getting access to your personal information.
