What happens if the main additional PIN is entered incorrectly?
The additional PIN in PrivateProScanner can act as a strict security layer before iPhone system authentication.
The app distinguishes between an accidental input error and a confirmed incorrect code.
A single incorrect entry is not enough to trigger the emergency action. The PIN is requested again so that an ordinary typo does not immediately cause data loss.
If the two entered values are different, PrivateProScanner treats that as an input mistake and does not perform the cleanup action.
If the same incorrect PIN is confirmed twice, the app activates its emergency protection behavior and removes the local documents, Photo Vault content, and protected app data involved in that local archive.
This is intended for users who prefer sensitive local data not to remain available after a confirmed wrong-PIN event.
It is a strict feature and should be enabled with a clear understanding of the consequences.
The additional PIN is not just a decorative lock screen; it is designed as a serious privacy control for users who want that behavior.
