    That’s a good point. I wonder if there’s a way to combine the throw-wallet duress pin with the delete-everything duress pin.

    Like, enter the duress pin, get the fake profile AND start a timer: if the real pin isn’t entered within 1 hr (or whatever timeframe the user set it to), then it factory resets.

    Best of both worlds.

      Definitely would be pretty easy to figure out a fake phone profile. Unless you are constantly updating it, any photo/emails/texts call logs will have timestamps from like months/years ago. Might fool a few, but even less if it becomes a widespread thing and authorities become aware of how it works.
