Dear the Android developer team. Hopefully my idea can be heard by the central Android developer team in the United States. In connection with the launch of the "Theft Detection Lock" setting or feature on Android devices, I found the only loophole for thieves that may have never been tried to be overcome, namely the "recovery mode" trick. On Android in general, when someone turns off the phone and then enters using "recovery mode", the person only needs to use 2 buttons to reset their Android, and in my opinion, this is the only loophole that has not been improved for the latest Android.

My suggestion is to add a password feature, be it a pin, pattern, or password before confirming a factory reset in recovery mode. The password, be it a pin, pattern, or password comes from the password that has been created by the user in "security" in "settings" in general mode.

Then what if someone wants to sell an Android phone even though the factory reset option has a password? The solution is, every time a factory reset is successful, the password in recovery mode is also reset or lost so that new Android users don't have to bother entering the old password.

 With the addition of the password feature in recovery mode, my hope is to strengthen Android security from thieves who try to reset the phone. This is in line with the launch of the "Theft Detection Lock" feature, which is to make Android phones safer in the future.

So thank you for listening to my idea
