Improve device wipe docs
I have a question due to the a bit spartan documentation under https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/developer_manual/client_apis/RemoteWipe/index.html:
Does Wiping also remove the API access of the device?
The attack vector is a stolen, unencrypted device. Once noticed, that the device was stolen, the user clicks on "Wipe Device". Is it then possible for the attacker to read the token from the file system of the stolen device (possibly he doesn't boot the device nor start the nextcloud client) and retrieve user data from the server with it? Or is the token already "invalid" and no more API requests are possible (except for the wiping endpoints) once the device has been marked for wiping?
At least, that's what I would expect. If that is the case, maybe someone can update the documentation and add a sentence here?
coudl you ask the question on https://help.nextcloud.com/c/support/7?
I have already asked the question without success. I think the documentation on wiping should be improved in this regard. https://help.nextcloud.com/t/does-wipe-device-also-remove-access-to-the-device/124845/2
Fair enough. The forum is the place to ask the question. Here you can raise that docs are missing. But don't expect answers here.
