my Xperia 10 asks for the security code even after i have unlocked it with my fingerprint.
shouldn't the latter also be able to unlock the encryption?
I. E. Why should I tap the fingerprint twice in order to unlock my phone?

First tap is opening up the lock screen. Second tap will read the fingerprint and unlocks the device.
I think it is done this way to prevent a driver bug with the fingerprint reader not being able to read the fingerprint when in standby.
So, there is a bug. And this is an expected workaround that bug? If so, fine as I believe this would be then tracked internally.

On my Xperia XA2 Plus the encyption unlock comes before device unlock / fingerprint. Encryption unlock is handeled by cryptsetup (or so) and the encryption code is showed as small * Where Device unlock / Fingerprint Unlock is another process and password is showed as dots...
