The "advanced flow" will be available before verification enforcement begins later this year.

Yes... Force every power user to permanently remove any limitations on unverified installs and trust no exploits are found in Android allowing them to be done silently because waiting 24 hours more than once is not an option.

Way to go Google...

I actually do get the argument that it inhibits scammers that try to force you to act quick. My old dad got such a call not long ago and only luck saved him from being able to do it at that time and once he hung up and had time to think he realized it was a scam.

But allowing us to turn off the 24 hour wait after the first time permanently would be so much better.

You mean like how the article mentions there's an "allow indefinitely" option?

No. That means unverified installs are allowed indefinitely. I want to be able to toggle that on and off without waiting 24 hours after the first 24 hour wait.
