GrapheneOS

Alpha There's no such thing in GrapheneOS. You appear to be referring to third party apps which are known to be insecure due to it being possible to interrupt their attempt at wiping the device by holding volume down while they reboot to recovery to perform a wipe.

I understand but who is this app called?

GrapheneOS

Alpha We don't know, and those apps are insecure because you can interrupt it by holding volume down when they reboot to recovery to wipe. This will likely be resolved by Pixels implementing wiping without requiring a reboot. We know how to solve it ourselves for all of these apps and we could do it after we add our own duress PIN/password feature based on our own implementation of secure wiping without a bypass.

There are a lot of people who need this type of MDM application. If you did the same wipe implementation as you did for DURESS, for admin applications it would be great.

But you'd need a solution to disable safe boot mode.
Otherwise all these applications are useless.

These applications can be a real plus.
But it's true that safe mode poses a problem.

But the problem is that you need to be able to :

A) In the settings, the option to deactivate the safe mode
or
B) Find a solution so that when you install an application that requires the device administrator, you can have it signed as if it were a system application. It will then run in safe mode.

Otherwise, it's completely useless: anyone who clicks on the reboot button for a few seconds will go into safe mode.

Thank goodness you've integrated the DURESS feature :)
