  After I didn’t see the mentioned content I looked around Zdnet, and I think you might have meant to link this article instead:

  zdnet.com/…/rebooting-your-phone-daily-is-your-be…

  Bad click, it happens. Good article, though. Thanks!

    So weird. I don’t even remember viewing that article. Maybe it was a link just above my address bar.

  Every early morning. Mine is right before my alarm goes off, so the notification sounds just meld.

  Also, no one should be using biometric data to log into thier phones. 6 digit pin isn’t very obtrusive once you get used to it

    6 digit pin will be broken in less than 40 minutes by a graybox. A 6-digit pin is way more vulnerable than someone who uses a 30-digit password + biometrics

      Sure bro, put a 30 character password into your phone every time you want to find the nearest fucking coffee shop.

        I just needed this info out there, I don’t really care what you do - I just need to make sure Lemmy stays safe and you’re spouting leaky insecurity disguised as best practices.

        Best of luck

        If you’re in the USA and a cop gets your phone they’re going to pop it onto a graybox and will be digging through your shit up to their elbows. I wish I were wrong

        With biometrics I only enter it once a week, at the very most. It’s insane to me that people want their phones to be less secure, but best of luck to you and your super secure TSA lock on your phone lol

      That’s for breaking a bcrypt hash, and I don’t believe there’s any way to extract the pin hash from a phone since it happens inside a secure hardware layer (like a TPM). If it is possible, the attacker would most likely have to physically destroy your phone to get at it. To bruteforce a 4 digit pin with retry lockout timers, it takes 16 hours to try all combinations, according to a tool I found that auto-enters pins via usb keyboard emulation.

    worthless when there’s cameras in every corner that record as you unlock your phone all 40 times through the day

      Fuck you too, buddy. You’re being recorded as you input your absurdly long password into your phone. They probably got it on camera. haha

        my password? which one? I very rarely type any passwords in public… but fuck me for having forethought!
