FYI - Graphene OS had biometrics with pin
-
I am wondering why GrapheneOS don't implement biometric BUT only with 2FA , for example: use finger and then a Android ask for specific password/pin to unlock device, this would let people use biometric with pass and don't worry about forcing by law enforcment or other
-
Been using it for a while and it's great.
Next up: auto wipe device after x days of no authentication.
-
At that point use the duress password with the police
-
Using the duress password could potentially be charged as destruction of evidence. If you can refuse to enter a password long enough for it to auto wipe before a judge orders you to unlock it you could avoid the danger of legal consequences. No destruction of evidence and no contempt of court.
-
By if you have ESIM, the wipe deletes the Sim as well...
-
That's exactly what the Second Factor PIN is. You have to use both a fingerprint plus a pin to unlock the phone. That feature only recently came out, in the past month or two.
-
Thanks for clarifying, I hate the fact even deepseek does not reply with facts like this.
Anyway when do they start breaking your kneecaps for refusing?
-
Can confirm, this exists and it works even if the phone is turned off or runs out of battery midway through the wipe, I've tested it. I have no use for it personally, but it's pretty neat!

Apologies If I can't list specific 3rd Android OS here. I know you can't on some reddit privacy subs due to some beef between devs I guess. I'll take down if needed
Wut?
-
Well, from what I understood, in the privacy subreddit people were getting into it over Graphene OS and other privacy android OS's. During this, I guess the Devs (or dev) we're very petty or something and causing unnecessary in-fighting. Icould be telling this wrong but its something along those lines... To be clear, i think the actual rule is you cant specifically mention ANY 3rd party android OS, not just Graphene.

US specific and not sure for how much longer, but the courts have generally held that you can't be forced to give up a password to a phone. It's covered under the 5th (and 4th) amendments. That being said, most stock phones are vulnerable to cellubrite cracks.
