  • Remote Wipe (not reset after x incorrect attempts)?

Are there any options for remote wipe?
Reset after X attempts isn't a suitable solution as there are locations where a user can be forced by law to provide passwords or they get sat in a cell until they do.
Some form of remote wipe would be ideal in these situations. As far as I can see there is nothing native to Graphene, is there perhaps a third party option available?

check out wasted, duress and sentry.

sentry can wipe after x number of failed attempts.

duress can wipe based on specific password/pin or based off a password/pin length.

wasted can wipe based on a time period when the phone is unlocked

i have testes these and they work. also creator has an app called silence which is also awesome.

    awesome thank you. Although not remote, duress and wasted sound like very workable solutions.
    Will research now.

    actually is Silence an SMS app and has some Panic Kit capabilty?

    I’m completely lost with duress and wasted please can someone explain how to use them can’t find an explanation anywhere

    in duress in broadcast put in:

    • action: me.lucky.wasted.action.TRIGGER
    • receiver: me.lucky.wasted/.TriggerReceiver
    • key: code from wasted.

    i use keyguard A: with a special pin that i can type to immediately wipe the phone.
    click on at the bottom

    in wasted check wipe data on main screen.
    in settings check on broacast.

    this will set up a wipe from duress to wasted when the pin you put in is typed on the lock screen.

    within wasted you can select other options as well like mine will wipe if i do not unlock my phone for 24 hours.

    let me know if this helps.

    A WARNING: you may accidentally wipe your phone when setting everything up if you do something wrong you do not fully understand, so proceed with caution.

      pinetree_raccoon hello! After i typed in everything and i pres the wipe code in the lock screen nothing happens…? Any solution

      I had a look at the Duress issue tracker and there's some worrying reports (bricked device, wiped for no reason, didn't work)... https://github.com/x13a/Duress/issues

      What's the correct way to set up the app? I don't care about Broadcast, just the Wipe functionality when entering a specific PIN. I also don't understand the difference between Keyguard A and B.

        DeletedUser28 Yea, found multiple forum posts pointing to this app and checked the Git issues. Doesnt seem to be a viable, safe option currently.

        Though I heard the GrapheneOS team is working on a native feature like that, which Ive also read on a previous forum post made by a dev a few months ago.
        Anyone know of the progress on that feature?

        Hi
        Im sorry to bother you since its been sometime since your post but can you help me set this up please
        I did exactly you explained here but when i lock the phone and type the pin i just says wrong password and it doesnt wipe the phone..
        Did i miss something ?
        I set the pin example 55555 should it be numbers or words ?

        it has been a long time since I used them last. i have got a new phone and don’t use them on it. are you on the right screen in duress? I remember there being a wipe, broadcast and test screen...
