Revliss It would be interesting to have more than a complete wipe: send an email, backup a folder to the cloud, ring someone,.... like a proper dead man's switch. What other features would you add?
AcclaimSublevel19 Revliss like a proper dead man's switch The duress password was never meant to be a dead man's switch feature. You want to command the device to stop working as fast as possible and get factory reset. Anything else would delay the process and would also be immensely hard to implement at the OS level.
The-Man Revliss how about UPS can send you a note in the post and while you wait, drinks.com can deliver you a cold beer. Duress pin is quick, efficient and unstoppable, why would you mess with it? " if it isn't broke, don't fix it, until it is"
1qkv9ddu3so2irvz Big -1 here! Whatever happens after the duress pin gets typed in, is supposed to happen as fast as possible.
Novalissoide Revliss could depend on the password typed But of course it could. I can also imagine a working feature that does Duress as reliable as it does now, and also safely takes a different input and trigger a number of important tasks, and then safely performs Duress as reliable as the normal one, but I could not imagine all the development needed for this to become reality.
nandohyphen1 I think the Duress PIN is good the way it is. I tested it on my 6a yesterday to wipe it. I don't see a need for more features. Its simple, to the point, and un-doable. Works as it should effectively wiping the device. That's all it needs to do.
