I would like to ask that, whether this function will be achieved on firefox os 1.2 or 1.3?

Comment 2

[Wayne Chang [:wchang]]

A new feature request.

Peter, do we have this backlogged for any release yet?

Comment 3

[Peter Dolanjski [:pdol]]

Tim, is this covered on your team's backlog?

Comment 4

[Tim Guan-tin Chien [:timdream] (please needinfo)]

Peter, yes.

I personally don't think this feature make any sense but let's hear what UX has to say first. We might need to loop security too.

I don't think it is up to UX to decide what is included in Tim's backlog, but agree with Tim: UX is not sure what the utility of such a feature would be to the user, nor what the corresponding result would be. After n attempts, do we lock the phone or limit other attempts, increasing frustration? I don't have anything like this on my iPhone or Android. I think the WheresMyFox project is sufficient to deal with the security aspects of stolen phones that do not belong to the user.
