    Yeah, I think it needs to be “wipe if a specific pin is entered”, so you can wipe it only when you intend to.

    Side note, my son has called the cops on several occasions by hitting the emergency button on the lock screen. Kids just have to play with it…

      I’ve almost done this on several occasions by locking my phone and putting it in my pocket while the screen was still on. Happened way too easily.

      That works only for a subset of users able and willing to remember yet another PIN. Especially one they don’t need often.
