About DuressKeyboard
DuressKeyboard is an Android keyboard that can trigger security actions in response to configured input. Its example use is a special duress password entered on the lock screen: when the configured code is submitted through the keyboard, the phone can wipe its data. The keyboard can also be set to wipe data in response to other configured events or to lock the screen. The app is described as private and offline and says it does not collect keyboard input. Its behavior depends on the keyboard being available and on Android allowing the configured action to run. Because the main example is a device-data wipe, a trigger may cause irreversible deletion; the product is intended for users who have deliberately configured such a response. DuressKeyboard is a security-oriented input method rather than a general password manager or data-backup tool. The supplied information does not explain which Android versions or device configurations support each trigger, so compatibility and the operation of the selected security action should be checked on the device before relying on it. The keyboard is designed for situations where a user wants a particular input to initiate a protective response. Its offline operation and stated lack of input collection are central to its description, but its usefulness depends on correct setup and Android’s support for the requested action.
