On iOS I can disable Face-ID by pressing a specific combination of keys.

For example, when I press the power button five times in a row on my iPhone 11, it will be locked and Face-ID is disabled until it is unlocked again.

I'm looking for the same on MacOS. Currently I'm using a M1 MacBook Air.

Pressing the Touch-ID button three times opens the Accessibility Shortcuts.

Edit:

On a different channel the bioutil command line tool was mentioned. To disable Touch-ID, run the following command: sudo bioutil -w-write -s-system -u-unlock 0.

I see this as an alternative to what I'm looking for because it is too cumbersome to use compared to the iOS equivalent.
