- Name/IRC nick: Systematics
- Topic: Decouple the device encryption password with the login screen
- Some details about the topic: As raised concern in previous meetings I would like to use a long and complex device encryption password for my smartphone. Without a fingerprint reader I would need to type the long and complex password (special characters) every time if I want to unlock my phone. The C2 does not have a fingerprint reader. What is the current state of decoupling the password?
- Approx. time needed: 1 minutes and 11 seconds
- Substitute (optional): I won’t join the meeting in person, but will read the log.

Raised the question on a previous community meeting:
Log from the Community meeting where I raised that question:
07:12:05 <rainemak> #topic Decouple the device encryption password and login screen password (1min -- asked by Systematics)
07:12:13 <rainemak> #info <Systematics> Does Jolla planning to decouple the device encryption password
07:12:13 <rainemak> #info <Systematics> and login screen password? A strong encryption for a mobile
07:12:13 <rainemak> #info <Systematics> device is important. For reaching a strong encryption, a complex
07:12:13 <rainemak> #info <Systematics> and long encryption key is needed. Passing that key one time at
07:12:13 <rainemak> #info <Systematics> the boot is not a problem but for regular usage (unlock) it
07:12:15 <rainemak> #info <Systematics> could be difficult. The Jolla Community Phone does not has a
07:12:16 <rainemak> #info <Systematics> fingerprint sensor, the Sony Xperia does have a fingerprint so
07:12:18 <rainemak> #info <Systematics> there was a “workaround” for unlocking in on these devices.
07:12:20 <rainemak> Giving 5 mins as well.
07:12:54 <rainemak> #info <Jolla> Thank you Systematics! Like pherjung commented after you, this has
07:12:54 <rainemak> #info <Jolla> been proposed earlier. Could be something to consider.
