Yet companies still try to convince you otherwise...


Show me where Apple says they protect against attackers who already have your passcode.


That's not what I was talking about... secure boot and locked boot loaders are "protected" with keys held by manufacturers...


Then your comment doesn't make sense?

because you don't even have the key? not sure where passcodes came from

> completely insecure if you are not the only one with the key

This implies you are referring to a key that the user has.

What key does the user have?

A passcode? Password?
