Oddbean new post about login | logout Oh shit I didn’t even realize this.
Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Device Unlock -> Duress Password
Is it better than having a decoy profile and pin?
Depends on the situation. Authorities just giving it a once over vs confiscating it or boarder agents cloning the hard drive.
Supposedly graphene is encrypted - but I wouldn't know how to verify this. I don't care if they copy a bunch of encrypted junk. I'll even load it up with movies that they'll have to save forever in hopes of decrypting.
Encryption is only as good as the password. A 4 digit code doesn't take that long to brute force.
Ah. Maybe the full wipe is better then
It doesn't work like that. The PIN on latest Pixels works like the PIN on hardware wallets with Secure Element. The encryption key is not the PIN. The key is protected by the SE and the PIN is used to ask to the SE for the key. The SE avoids PIN bruteforce.
It took the government 4 months to crack the iPhone of the attempted Trump assassin in PA.
That confirms the fact they don't bruteforce the PIN.
It's quite new, it has been added this year. This month the added "private space" which a perfect feature to let's say delete it before border 😅
