Five quick presses of the lock button does this too, but beware as I think the default behaviour also starts a 3 second countdown to calling emergency services.

Pressing the power and a volume button for >2s (the same combination as shutting down the phone) also disables faceID and does not call emergency services.

There’s a setting to disable the call, I just did it that long back I wasn’t sure if that’s still the default.
