    Nah, write the duress password on a piece of paper and keep it in your phone case. Then keep your mouth shut. Let the cops find it and try it themselves.

        I have two different PINs I use for different debit cards. One of those is also my phone PIN, the other is my Duress PIN.

        It would be really easy for to forget which is which when in a stressful situation.

      This is actually a really good idea. It would also work if your phone got stolen.

        aand it would make the stolen phone ready to use by the thief, because I guess graphene os does not implement factory reset protection, because that traditionally relies on login to a google account

          The guy in the story we’re discussing found a way to make a duress password work using graphene.

            “found a way” it is a feature, you can set it up in the settings. there is not much figuring out in that. but if you turn that on, and your phone legitimately gets stolen, now the thief can sell it for good money, because it is still usable. there is no easy toggle for that in the settings.
