I am sure those would also be prerequisets before making this a possibility.ĭespite not seeing any other issue numbers I can't imagine I'm the only one to think of this and there is something I don't know. I noticed issues #816 and #465 which seemed to be related. Would there be similar concerns of security holes over USBC? Perhaps a warning or something could appear to inform users of the implications if it were in place? If that is the case and is possible I can see the issues then. That said I am still not sure if that would constitute a risk just by having it on when locked even if you have no apps or only one that uses the ability. I have no wallet or other apps with those capabilities. However, I only use NFC for my YubiKey as is. With that in mind I'm sure it would technically lessen security. As I understand this is not supported for situations such as someone stealing your phone and using the wallet capability. It also appears that even in the base Android NFC is turned off when locked. I believe nfc used to be an option with Android that got removed/discontinued.
