Nah, write the duress password on a piece of paper and keep it in your phone case. Then keep your mouth shut. Let the cops find it and try it themselves.

Then you sue them for destroying your data. They took your phone and wiped it...

Yes! Or even better, make it 1234 or your birthdate and let them guess it on their own.

I have two different PINs I use for different debit cards. One of those is also my phone PIN, the other is my Duress PIN.

It would be really easy for to forget which is which when in a stressful situation.

This is actually a really good idea. It would also work if your phone got stolen.

Labeled "phone password" for good measure.

Nope. Now it's intentionally misleading. You don't want that.
