I’m running Graphene on a Pixel 6. I lost it and someone opened it somehow and called two of my contacts to give it back.

I’m a bit confused how this even happened. When I got the phone back, they were going through my contacts. I checked app usage stats and they went through a banking app (not missing money), maps, signal, etc.

Is there a way to figure out how they even unlocked my phone?

    Pixel 6 series has the well known atrociously insecure fingerprint hardware. Pixels are incredibly insecure phones and have a lot of hardware QC issues.

    The other possibilities can be that the pin screen does not jumble numbers, and your phone’s fingerprint smudges were used to open phone, or that you may have a weak pin, which I am not sure you would, considering you are on Lemmy’s privacy community.

      Lol pixel 6 did have fingerprint reader issues. But pixels are incredible secure overall. But you got a bit of a fixation don’t ya?🤡
