This kind of reminds me of the Travel Mode of 1Password: https://support.1password.com/travel-mode/ https://support.1password.com/travel-mode/ and I imagine it'd be most useful in similar situations.
Obviously the usefulness of measures like this is likely pretty low if your dealing with tech-savvy adversaries, but if some random border guard or police officer forces you to log into your computer and — I don't know, I'm not very well-versed in these scenarios — show your Facebook messages or your password vault, you could use your duress password to clear cookies and other stuff to show that you don't have a Facebook account or a password manager ... or whatever, you get the general idea.
Or you could use it to not change anything but simply log in and additionally alert your work place that you're under duress and they can cut off your access to critical systems. Provided that you have some sort of internet access of course...
- movedx 5y agoI married into an American family recently. We plan on doing a road trip through America to visit said family. I will not be taking my phone or my laptop. I will just buy something cheap over there and then donate it to charity before I leave.
