Google has the keys to the kingdom.
- Thorrez 5y agoDo you have a source for that? I didn't think the phone's encryption key or password was backed up to Google. The help pages say that if you forgot your PIN, you should reset your phone.[1][2] Of course Drive and Photos files are in Google servers and aren't E2E encrypted, but I don't think that's what you're talking about. Full disclosure I work at Google but on nothing related to this.
