Bug description
This is not a bug report.
Feature proposal:
What if unlocking the phone could directly open a specific space?
Idea:
Allow users to unlock directly into Private Space by entering a different
credential at the lockscreen, instead of unlocking first and switching spaces manually.
Example:
- PIN A → Main space
- PIN B → Private Space
Important constraint:
To avoid ambiguity and security issues, both spaces must use the same lock type:
- PIN → PIN
- Pattern → Pattern
- Password → Password
Benefits:
- Faster access to Private Space
- Cleaner privacy workflow (no visible space switching)
- Improved daily usability
This feature would be optional and opt-in.
The intent is to discuss feasibility and security implications before any implementation.
