My Android device (v. 7.1.2) offers several options to use the "Smart Lock" feature.
This feature uses some rules to automatically disable the lockscreen.
Available rules are:
- Trusted place
- Trusted Bluetooth device
- Trusted face
- Trusted voice
- On-body detection
I am surprised that there is no option to use a trusted WiFi network.
Some forums state the risk for the WiFi network to be spoofed. I don't understand how the risk is different: an attacker could spoof a Bluetooth device as well.
What could be reasons for not allowing a WiFi-based unlocking while allowing Bluetooth-based unlocking?
