I've emailed them about adding 2-step authentication, like last year, and they never did. I don't like Cerberus as much anymore, it can do so much, but there is almost no security once they get in. They would have full control of your device. Support seems to be lacking. PREY was ok, but even that was limited.
Maybe Google Device Manager will improve, I'm hoping soon. I know it's not the issue they are talking about, but I'm going to guess there is no 'quick' fix and the reply will be not what you are looking for.
I have left reddit for due to years of admin mismanagement and preferential treatment for certain subreddits and users holding certain political and ideological views. The situation has gotten especially worse since the appointment of Ellen Pao as CEO, culminating in the seemingly unjustified firings of several valuable employees and bans on hundreds of vibrant communities on completely trumped-up charges. The resignation of Ellen Pao and the appointment of Steve Huffman as CEO, despite initial hopes, has continued the same trend. As an act of protest, I have chosen to redact all the comments I've ever made on reddit, overwriting them with this message.

I know I'm a couple of weeks off here, but, I just got thinking about all this 'hide your security' software etc and I'm now too wondering why cerberus is not hidden from 'My Apps' in the Play Store. when you sideload it.
And I say this because although I've bought and got Tasker installed, it doesn't show up since I didn't buy it from the Play Store but bought it directly through Paypal and getting a code to validate it. Unsure at the moment, but I'm thinking along the lines of the app's md5sum or some other indicator is registering with Google Play Services and recognising that you've got 'an application matching the md5sum of an application in The Play Store' etc. Sorry for the rambling here but I'm confused and was curious to what your thoughts are. Something obvious I'm missing?
In June 2013, partnered with to offer a lifetime license to the on Android. The offer came a few months after I had read of Cerberus’ usefulness in recovering a stolen phone. With that in mind I jumped through the AppGratis hoops to get the free lifetime license and Cerberus has been installed on my smartphone since.
The app allows enabling GPS and tracking the phone, capturing pictures from the cameras, recording audio, and many more methods to hopefully recover your lost or stolen phone. Fast-forward to today and I received an email from Cerberus letting me know that the “promotional period” would be ending. Not only is the free lifetime license ending but there is allusion to coming price increases and a change to a subscription model, so people may want to buy a lifetime license now. The email that I received. Hi username, You received a free license for Cerberus in a promotional period. We deeply apologize, but unfortunately it was not feasible anymore to make it last for a lifetime, so your license will expire after 3 years of free service, on June 1st 2016. We hope Cerberus helped you recover a lost or stolen device during these years, and that you will consider buying a license.

Since by the time your license expires the app will be probably more expensive and subscription-based (with an annual or monthly fee), we offer you to purchase a lifetime license now with a one-time payment. If you’re interested, please contact us before the end of September using the support form on the website, or send an email to [email protected]. Thank you, The Cerberus Team.
This is an automated message, please do not reply. Confirming that the message is authentic, (actually a Google Group) is receiving continued responses from users angry or confused by the rescinded offer. Cerberus Support has replied to the thread using the same lines of broken English to extend the offer to the third year (June 2016) and encourage buying a lifetime license.

Users are understandably expressing concern that a purchased “lifetime” license would also not last a lifetime. Given the alternative way to ending a lifetime offer, perhaps the app expiring is not such a bad way to go To purchase a lifetime license, it currently costs around $7.
