Reply to comment by synackk in Android phone owner accidentally finds a way to bypass lock screen by redhatGizmo

>Unlocked state here means at some point the phone has been unlocked at least once for the encryption

That is not what the article says.

That came from the original source: https://bugs.xdavidhu.me/google/2022/11/10/accidental-70k-google-pixel-lock-screen-bypass/

>>> As I did before, I entered the PUK code and choose a new PIN. This time the phone glitched, and I was on my personal home screen. What? It was locked before, right? This was disturbingly weird. I did it again. Lock the phone, re-insert the SIM tray, reset the PIN… And again I am on the home screen. WHAT? My hands started to shake at this point. WHAT THE F**K? IT UNLOCKED ITSELF?

Article could be wrong or wording it poorly

That’s why a video is embedded into the article.

The phone was unlocked. It is locked now and not restarted.

Fingerprint is disabled by failing too often.
