Do you have to slide the power slider and turn off your phone for it to work? Or does it disable biometric as the slider show up?

as soon as it shows up, i have also learned in this thread that clicking the power button 5 times does the same

I just tested it... it's the same combination for a fast shutdown. Up > Down > Hold Power (1 second hold), then you're introduced to the option of sliding to power off. If you exit from that prompt or just leave the screen idle for about 10-15 seconds (I didn't count it) you'll be forced to enter passcode.
