To step it up even further, if using a duress pin, stick it on a note inside your phone case. Don't say a goddamn word aside from asking for a lawyer, and when they inevitably find the written code and try it out, that's entirely on them.
That's a good idea
Just say "it's not my birthday, so don't try my birthday"
that doesn't work if they clone it
Would be great if there was a feature that detects a clone and start zeroing itself. Or start flipping bits every few seconds/random intervals in a way that just seems like nand in early stages of failing (maybe even give false drive health data). Though I have zero understanding of the cloning processes, and imagine that it would quickly be something they would have their own detectors and mitigations.
But can't just stop trying to make it harder/frustrating for anyone trying to access all our digital lives. They already get around our rights with how they just go ask the companies like Microsoft to get people's Bitlocker keys (which even most people seem to not even be aware of having until Windows breaks).
