I think this app is great. However, I need a variation on the theme: it may be that a child or a co-worker momentarily has access to my smartphone and perhaps through a prank or recklessness they may miss all 4 attempts by operating the wipe.

I therefore request that after X wrong attempts the device be locked for 24h with the inability to accept pin/password during the said period.

If after 24h the new attempts are all failed then total wipe.
This solution makes me feel more comfortable.

I do not think it is possible.

I do not think it is possible.

Then it can be done in this other way:

  1. Someone misses X attempts, Sentry notifies that the maximum number of available attempts has been reached and does nothing.

  2. At this point Sentry triggers a 24-hour countdown: if during this period no one enters a valid pin/password then the wipe starts.

Is this feasible in this way?
