No password prompt before resetting the device

[Omer Akram]

I can reset my device just by going to settings and going to reset panel.

The problem is it does not ask for any security key. My case is: someone asks my phone to make a call, they end the call and reset the phone, just like that.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SystemSettings#phone-reset>: "If you use any phone locking scheme, choosing “Reset All System Settings” or “Erase & Reset Everything” in the alert should prompt you to unlock before displaying the alert..."

That needs design input, if you hand up an unlocked device to somebody you don't trust you can expect issues (same way that if you give an unlock laptop to somebody)

There are a hundred other scenarios where trust is not the problem but your phone still gets fiddled. But that's not the point of discussion. The factory reset is a serious thing.

This is already in the spec.
