Amazing update, very hyped about this!
GrapheneOS version 2024053100 released
GrapheneOS Duress password works with all users or only while unlocking own user? If the case, is the same duress password for all users? thanks for the long awaited feature!
cdflasdkesalkjfkdfkjsdajfd With all users, and it's one for all, yes.
To make this clear to everyone:
Duress PIN/Password will work anywhere where the device credentials are requested. NOT JUST THE LOCKSCREEN.
Anywhere in the OS where the PIN/password is requested (enabling developer options, a PIN prompt to unlock an app, confirming your PIN to change the device's password, anywhere) can trigger the duress PIN.
The only exception is the SIM PIN prompt, since that's a different PIN, but we will likely extend it to that screen too, to try and avoid any confusion.

I'm sorry but I'm completely confused as how to even enable this? Apparently I'm up to date.. I'm probably just being blind!
Thankyou GOS team for this is a great update
Amazing. Thank you Devs, another huge feature added.
If you execute the duress feature, does it basically fully reset the phone back to a graphene os flash.....but also wiping the esim?
Or is it more than this ?
matchboxbananasynergy are esims wiped or only phone data? Or maybe this is configurable?
cdflasdkesalkjfkdfkjsdajfd Duress wipe also wipes eSIM, this is explained in the description of the feature when you go to set it up.
matchboxbananasynergy are you planning to allow it to be configured?
cdflasdkesalkjfkdfkjsdajfd As far as I'm aware, there are no such plans. If you're in a situation where you want to trigger a duress wipe like that, why would you want the eSIM to stay?
If you are not in a duress situation and want to wipe, just factory reset instead.
matchboxbananasynergy Sim and esim are pin protected. I use Sim and esim. Duress app is killing esim but not firing the Sim, no? What's the difference
cdflasdkesalkjfkdfkjsdajfd The difference is we can wipe the eSIM. What can the OS do for the physical SIM? Not much.

matchboxbananasynergy I was hoping for a mission impossible style puff of smoke whilst destroying it 🤷♂️
GrapheneOS I'm very excited for the duress feature! What do you think about putting a little label with the duress PIN on the inside of the phone case in case some nosey person thinks they can just access ones phone?
I also read that Google is planning a Theft Detection Feature for later this year: "Theft Detection Lock is coming later this year and helps you keep your personal and financial data safe if your phone is ever snatched from you. This powerful new feature uses Google AI to sense if someone snatches your phone from your hand and tries to run, bike or drive away with it. If a theft motion is detected, it will be quickly locked down to keep your information out of the wrong hands."
Do you think it will find its way into GrapheneOS? It uses Google AI, so I'm not sure how this would work. I've been using Private Lock for some time, but it hasn't been updated for quite some time.
