Adds a second tile so the lock no longer always demands a PIN.

Tile Coming back in
Screen Lock fingerprint works
Secure Lock PIN / pattern / password only

DevicePolicyManager.lockNow() sets STRONG_AUTH_REQUIRED_AFTER_DPM_LOCK_NOW, which makes the keyguard refuse biometrics — that is why v1.0 always asked for a PIN, and it cannot be switched off from the app side. Screen Lock goes through the accessibility route (GLOBAL_ACTION_LOCK_SCREEN) instead, which is the power-button equivalent and leaves fingerprint working.

Screen Lock needs the accessibility service enabled — open Quick Lock and use the button in the first section. If the toggle is greyed out: Settings ▸ Apps ▸ Quick Lock ▸ ⋮ ▸ Allow restricted settings.

Upgrades over v1.0 in place. versionCode 2.
