    Lol that’s worthless when I can unlock your phone because you use a short passphrase

      Everyone can decide on the length of their passphrase according to their threadmodell.

        If you use a >50 character passphrase for your phone, its no longer useful as a phone. That’s the point.

          Pixels have a secure element that limit the amount of guesses an attacker could make. This isn’t available on any Linux distro by default. Also on GrapheneOS you can have a longer password for decryption and a shorter one + fingerprint for unlocking. Also a longer phone password would be more practical then an long desktop PC password. You can take the phone with you on toilet unlocked while having to lock and unlock your PC for going on the toilet.

        Lol you can make anything seem secure if you narrow security to a very narrow definition.

        Phones are the most insecure devices, if you look at the big picture. They’re literally designed to be convenient. That’s the enemy of security.
