A US man is being prosecuted after allegedly using a GrapheneOS duress PIN to wipe his Pixel during a border search.

    That would be an interesting proposition… under duress load profile x and delete all other profiles, apps, settings and keys.

      I like this option, save a snapshot and restore that snapshot deleting everything else. So it looks like a regular profile but won’t contain anything you want to remain private.

      Or maybe a lighter version of the duress pin that just loads the fake profile (or alternate profile) but leaves the other(s) intact.

      If you’re just handing your phone over for a border pig to swipe through before waving you through that might be adequate.

        It depends on whether you believe forensics can recover the data when handed over. So make it a setting

          Yeah I was thinking of this as a half measure. But less secure than just wiping

        Border pigs have cellebrite, assume they can access anything left intact.

        If it botherw you, wipe it, if it doesnt, you dont really need a duress pin. But login to one profile and cellebrite can get the rest.
