    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.

      Especially since so many phones won’t make it 72 hours without a charge, even if sitting unused.

      3 days seems like a good “default” but I agree I’d definitely like the option to make it shorter.

        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”

      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

        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,

      honestly I reckon 12 hours would be good enough I only really sleep 6-7 hours and I’ll check my phone within half hour at most of waking up usually straight away and I need to watch something relaxing before sleeping so it’ll have been used just before I slept so I think 12 hours would be fine and on the super rare maybe I’m awake a super long time for reasons and sleep 12 hours ok the consequence is I have to unlock my phone with a pin instead of my finger and do it twice cause sim lock not that big a deal hell I think 10 hours would be too extreme and would trigger a bit even for me but I reckon it wouldn’t that often
