    Ok, the authorities can try to unlock my phone to look for evidence HAHAHA

    What? They just used my thumb without consent?

    Because GrapheneOS only lets you use PIN or Fingerprint?

    Because they think pattern is not secure?

    Well, shit.

      You can set up 2fa unlock now.

      After fingerprint, I put in a PIN.

      If that’s not enough, you can always just require a full password unlock instead.

        That’s great. Can I also add 5 min mandatory wait time between the fingerprint and PIN to make it even more inconvenient?

      Are you trolling or just this ignorant? If you’re referring to the US laws on this, a PIN can’t be required from you. Any biometrics can. So a PIN already protects you from the authorities using their legal route to get into your phone via your compliance.

        I’m saying that PIN is inconvenient. Most people prefer fingerprint over PIN because it’s so much more convenient but it means you can be easily forced to unlock your phone. Pattern is a nice compromise but GrapheneOS developers decided to remove it because they consider it not secure enough. Which is baffling because PIN is just as easy to steal just by looking at someone’s screen.

            Still inconvenient and still can be easily stolen just by looking over your shoulder.

            Blackberry had unlock mechanism that let you unlock phone with a single, quick gesture and was impossible to steal.

            You had to swipe the number overlay to put a correct number in a specific place in the image. Quick, easy, secure.
