It’s not, technically, but if I have sensitive documents on my phone and a law officer is trying to get me to unlock my phone, I will be entering and/or putting the duress code into my phone. GrapheneOS has ‘lockdown’ button by ‘restart’ and ‘shutdown’ all of which will require a passphrase to unlock, even if you normally have fingerprint enabled for X hours each time of use.
So it’s semi-related in that GrapheneOS protects against this type of attack.
Luckily GrapheneOS has a duress passowrd feature. Very useful for these situatuons!
I didn’t know that. Is that in settings somewhere?
Edit: yep, see it now. Damn this must be new or I never looked into it.
It’s new as of about 1-2 months ago.
It was released with the 2024053100 build, so not even a month ago.
How does it work? Can someone use a specified finger to trigger the password requirement?

Passcode. Not fingerprint.
Ah. Then I guess I don’t see how this is related to the post.
