or maybe, I have replaced it with a newer phone, and repurposed it as some sort of lightweight server or something. So it doesn’t get unlocked anymore, ever
3 days in my opinion is too long imo for a default, if the entire point of it is to increase the security, the default gives 3 days worth of time for an entity to obtain a way to access it via some form of exploit or other means. That’s far long enough for most shipping options to send the device elsewhere that may have the appropriate tech to do so.
A 24h limit would significantly decrease the margin for exploitation. I agree the setting should have multiple time intervals though, I just think 3 days is way too long for the purpose of the setting. It seems like a “we wanna do something that sounds good, but won’t rock the boat for the powers that be”
I like it but, why so long? If I haven’t unlocked my phone in 24 hours I’m either dead or hospitalized, 3 days seems super extreme.
Because I want my alarm clock to actually work.

If that’s the case hopefully there will be a setting to disable the feature as a whole as every 3 days would be annoying for a server,
Especially since so many phones won’t make it 72 hours without a charge, even if sitting unused.
If the screen is off, idk wtd background apps you’re running that would drain so much…
3 days seems like a good “default” but I agree I’d definitely like the option to make it shorter.
