Bug Description
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.

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)
