My brother uses a similar trick to get to a browser to bypass login on locked Android devices. It blows my mind that they can't see the security implications of this.
- saagarjha 3y agoGetting to a browser isn’t really a security vulnerability; many devices will even have a “guest” mode that provides direct access to the internet.
