Samsung users (not sure if it also applies to other android flavors):

Go to settings>lock screen>secure lock>show lockdown option and turn it on.

Now if you hold the power button for over a second, a menu pops up with an option to turn on lockdown mode. This disables all biometric unlock methods until the next time you unlock it.
