    You have to carry a piece of paper in your wallet that contains a PIN. The piece of paper contains no further information, just a PIN. You decline to answer any questions regarding this piece of paper or your phone’s PIN.

    This might not be a good idea, depending on your jurisdiction.

      You can have a business card with a "phone"number on it. (Your pin can be any part of that number it is only you who needs to know where to start reading the code). You don’t need to have a sus number only piece of paper. :)

        The point is that the cops would find and enter the pin.

        It’s the wipe pin.

        They wiped it, not you.

      I’m not going to disclose my specific way, but numbers don’t need decimal digits to be expressed and parsed. An hypothetical example:

      Oh… ye shadow! Nahamah, my Mother

      Believe it or not, this is encoding the today’s date, 2026-07-26.

      Oh = 2 letters
      Elipsis = no letters, so 0
      ye = 2 letters
      shadow = 6 letters

      Nahamah = 7

      My = 2
      Mother = 6

      The funny part? I just conjured this technique during the composition of this very reply. It’s somehow easy for me to conjure atypical steganographic techniques, and I use steganography quite often IRL. In this way, I can literally write down my passwords and keep in my wallet, and absolutely nobody will get to figure out it’s meant to be a password.

      Luckily for FBI and other investigation agencies, I dont even think of visiting the USA, but good luck for any fed or cop trying to keep up with my plethora of steganographic techniques (and my neurodivergent brain) amidst plausible deniability if I ever did. Lol
