There have been instances where judges ruled in favor of them being protected which sets a legal precedent. The SCOTUS probably won't get involved unless a major lawsuit or federal-level case occurs.

Either way, passcodes are superior. Not sure why you're arguing this.

I take issue with the statement "passwords are protected by the fifth amendment".

SCOTUS is not guaranteed to affirm that above statement.
