Basically, a verbal voice print-authenticated lockdown code, delivered via your digital assistant (Siri, Google Assistant, Alexa, etc) which immediately locks the phone down and disables biometric unlocking.

A modern-day panic PIN Could be interesting. Law enforcement might not care for it though. |

I was debating with myself on calling it Verbal Panic PIN. |

Nice, esp. if les enfants get hold of your work phone and start trying to find Farmville, par example. |

Unfortunately, Le Loi already has deep-fake AI tech and can reverse engineer this p.d.q, especially if you've ever spoken aloud around your always-on phone. |

I'd use it anyway, since power-outage (usually) weather-related technology 'supply chain issues' happen more and more often. (side note: do new cars just stop when they lose internet connectivity during a wildfire, insurrection or other crisis?) |

Lock down phrase must include words you've never said before, in an unexpected order, for maximum bafflement. |

I'd seen something about that, regarding the courts and police. It's part of what prompted the idea. I don't *think* they're allowed to gag you. |

It's a good idea but only if it's permanent and irrevocable. Otherwise, linky |

When I conceived the idea initially I thought of that and considered making a visit to a store that sells them necessary to show ID and have it unlocked, but then I remembered how often certain digital assistants like Bixby and Siri get activated by the wrong person's voice, and so the chance of it accidentally being duress locked is a little too high to make that an easy sell to consumers. That'd happen exactly once before I threw it out a window. |
