    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.

          Well yeah the thief can sell the hardware, but the data is wiped. Not expecting it to be a self destruct feature.
