To answer your question: no. But fingerprint unlock is an option you can enable, you don't have to use.
The idea that typing in the 'wrong' password or the 'wrong' finger auto-deletes everything is going to get you charged with destruction of evidence and probably obstruction and anything else they can throw at you.) (Unless, of course, the deletion happens because of them: for instance they try 10 passcodes and it auto-deletes, which is an option (or maybe standard) on iPhones. Or to their example, the wrong finger.) (Also, this blog says "The thing is, what they want isn’t just encryption, it’s deniability, which is a subtly different thing." - they didn't say that at all. And I'm skeptical that the 'hidden partition' notion of TrueCrypt is workable in the real world, and I'm not the only one.) -tom On 27 January 2017 at 15:45, Matej Kovacic via guardian-dev <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > have you seen this? > > http://www.mit.edu/~specter/articles/17/deniability1.html > > Is it possible to replace default Android fingerprint authentication > with a custom one (without rooting the phone or recompiling OS)? > > Regards, > M. > -- > PGP Fingerprint: 1918 8C72 E5D6 B523 86E1 AC24 C82A C043 3D92 568D > PGP Key: > https://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xC82AC0433D92568D > Personal blog: https://pravokator.si > _______________________________________________ > List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev > To unsubscribe, email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ List info: https://lists.mayfirst.org/mailman/listinfo/guardian-dev To unsubscribe, email: [email protected]
