GrapheneOS Now Supports a Duress Reset PIN
GrapheneOS Now Supports a Duress Reset PIN
Our upcoming 2-factor fingerprint unlock will make using a strong passphrase as primary unlock method practical via fingerprint+PIN secondary unlock instead of fingerprint-only. Great for people who want to avoid relying on secure element throttling but don't want fp-only unlock.
GrapheneOS provides users with the ability to set a duress PIN/Password that will irreversibly wipe the device (along with any installed eSIMs) once entered anywhere where the device credentials are requested (on the lockscreen, along with any such prompt in the OS).
The wipe does not require a reboot and cannot be interrupted. It can be set up at Settings > Security > Duress Password in the owner profile. Both a duress PIN and password will need to be set to account for different profiles that may have different unlock methods.
Note that if the duress PIN/Password is the same as the actual unlock method, the actual unlock method always takes precedence, and therefore no wipe will occur.

Since you're all here and Graphene doesn't work on my ancient 3a, do you have any alternatives you'd recommend?

calyxos https://calyxos.org/install/devices/sargo/windows/ [until August 2024, so not worth it]

lineage will give you the most feature complete environment
DivestOS is fun to play with, but even coming from GOS its going to have a big learning curve.
There is always the option of just using the 3A with the stock OS, unsupported, especially if you want to regift the phone to a young relative.

It's my old phone, i use it for gps now, but i want to learn how to do the things
Appreciate it
If i was you, i would buy a Google Pixel 8 (8a is cheaper than 8 and 8 pro). They all provide support for GrapheneOS, have 7 years of updates, MTE, and so on

My daily driver is a 7a, my older 3a is the experiment and learn phone
