You then have to confirm that you aren’t being coached/guided/instructed by a bad actor to turn off the security measures.
This is followed by a device restart and re-authentication that “cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what you’re doing.”
A required “Security wait” takes one day to “confirm that this is really you who’s making this change with our biometric authentication (fingerprint or face unlock) or device PIN.” This is a one-time wait.
Afterwards, you can install apps from unverified developers indefinitely, while there’s also a 7-day “Turn on temporarily” option.
I don’t think the wait is necessary. If someone were to continue being scammed after a reboot, they’d continue to be scamme tomorrow. An additional education piece after the reboot would be more effective.
Do usual dev mode shit…

Jfc, the apps scammers usually use are on the fucking play store. Good fucking dammit this is stupid.
This is the salient point that’s hard to communicate.
We’ve moved to fdroid and others because we’re trying to avoid the scammers on the Play Store.
