Duress password effectiveness

grayway2

Duress PIN works as expected but can lead to confusion.

If the device is protected by an alphanumerical password and if the user use the duress code set for PIN instead of the PASSWORD duress, the device will not be wiped.

This is intentional design and is documented in our features page:

That's interesting so like you mean to say

Since Duress Password setting ask for pin and password I choose

For pin 123123
Password is Password123

My pass like Octopus12345#

If I enter 123123 on lockscreen it won't reset?
Will only reset if enter Password123

Cliffy correct

If 123123 is set in the password field it will wipe the device but if it's set in the PIN it will not wipe the device.

If I choose the numbers 11131113 as both Duress Pin, and as Duress Password for simplicity, is this in any way faulty?

Novalissoide You can do that. Should work.
