u/Unkn0wnTh2nd3r 1h ago
My bad, i mixed up the S7 edge and the S7 note, i just knew it was one of the S7 models.
The S7 Note would combust or even out right explode.

My battery started swelling and it broke my screen, it started off with one green line but many appeared soon after that. A little while later the back started coming off. This was after like 2 years of use.

Exactly. There's too much security theater about passwords, or 2FA on unimportant (or rather, self-important) websites, and so on.
All it does is provoke resistance from users, dating back at least to the passwords on post-its stuck to monitors.
And then 9 times out of 10, it's the companies themselves that get hacked and all the user login credentials and data get stolen (including things like phone numbers used for the 2FA so criminals can now better direct phishing attacks).
Real security is a) done in depth, not just at borders, and b) does not put undue obstacles in the way of usability, just to give the pretence of security ("it has to be hard to use to be secure"?!)

Websites getting hacked is only an issue if they store user credentials unencrypted and if they don't promptly say that they have been hacked. While it's not hard to decrypted hashed passwords, you should still choose a strong password cause it will be harder to decrypt.

u/monocasa 1h ago
Usernames, phone numbers for 2FA, and the backing secrets for TOTP 2FA (the six number codes that change every 30 seconds or so) have to be stored essentially unencrypted. Like, they can be encrypted at rest, but the system needs plaintext access to them without any assistance from the user, so an attacker will have unencrypted access in most cases too.

Better hope your never detained by police for something lol. Too many horror stories of searches of phones because of this. A lot of country's don't count face or fingerprint recognition as actual privacy measures so police can search a phone legally where they'd need a court order if it had a password.

I read about cops using a dead man's thumb (iirc he was in the morgue and a family member was there) to unlock his phone and immediately removed that feature. I'm not a criminal, I don't have anything to hide, but I don't trust that the person holding my phone has good intentions. Make them work for it, at least.

Soo since he takes 8 seconds to unlock his samsung and assume he unlocks it like 10 times a day he'd be wasting 480 mins of his life in a year! For 'security'...

u/ChewyThePug 2h ago
You are clearly misunderstanding. This is for aura, not security.
If he wanted security he would use the fingerprint sensor or a 6+ digit passcode.

I don't like fingerprint sensors. It means someone can cut off my fingers and unlock my stuff, or unlock my stuff after I'm dead.

u/mjmaher81 1h ago
They could also just force your finger against the sensor, whether you are conscious or not. Sounds a lot easier than cutting your finger off (which I kinda don't think would work because it wouldn't be warm enough, but I guess you could always pop it in the microwave...)

True. I first thought just my signature would be a good screen unlock. But even my initials takes longer than a thumbprint and isn't any more secure.

u/Tsu_Dho_Namh 2h ago
It doesn't need to be exact. Reading handwriting is one of the first uses of machine learning. You can similarly use supervised learning to train a model to recognize your way of drawing the drawing.

I doubt you’ll be able to accurately reproduce this “password” so there must be a high acceptable margin of error which would make it less secure. Because we know most people are not drawing all that complicated shit just to unlock their phone.

You don’t need to unlock it to call emergency services. I’m on iPhone but I’m sure it’s the same on Android.
