GrapheneOS provides users with the ability to set a duress PIN/Password that will irreversibly wipe the device (along with any installed eSIMs) once entered anywhere where the device credentials are requested (on the lockscreen, along with any such prompt in the OS).

I’m not sure that I, personally, have a situation where the benefit of using it would outweigh the consequences, but useful for people with different threat profiles.
