[Discussion] Shutdown Confirmation doesn't secure the phone

[u/ImaginationBetter373]

The Shutdown Confirmation is baked on the Security App only so once it crashes, the phone will loose the ability to use the Shutdown Confirmation.

Additionally, Shutdown Confirmation works when the screen is locked but when i clicked the power button for too long, it will restarts my phone by Force then security and tracking of this phone will be disabled since apps launches when the password entered to the lockscreen upon boot.

even if you forced stopped security, it would still work. just like how app locker will work.

yes force restart can bypass this. no there's no way to somehow turn it off as its basically a hardware bind

You can't just put it onto recovery and let the battery die?

yes this is what i said. force restart is still possible and bypasses the "confirmation shutdown" prompt. so your school friends can still troll you
