  • Reflections on GrapheneOS' duress feature

Oh this is awesome:

A nice example usecase would be have the duress pin written on a label inside the phone case, or set it to 1234, so that if someone steals the phone, odds are they'll think it's the unlock pin, and will wipe it.

    bayesian yes, but I would not do 1234. For example, if a friend or relative picks up your phone and starts trying to mess with it.

      I might be misremembering, but I think I had to set a duress pin for each profile. Does inputting a duress pin on a secondary profile nuke just that profile, or the whole phone?

        GlytchMeister You set one duress PIN / passphrase in the owner profile. When either duress PIN or passphrase is submitted, it wipes all profiles including the owner and also all eSIMs.
