If you’ve updated to the latest version of Oxygen Forensic® Detective, the Mi Fit icon will be the first in the list of all available services. Select it to proceed.
An investigator can get authorization in Mi Fit cloud with the user’s Mi Fit, Google, Facebook, or Mi account credentials.
Another way to authorization is to use a token from an iOS or Android device, or the one that was generated when logging in with their credentials. Proxy extraction is supported for Mi Fit cloud.
It is possible to import the Mi Fit credentials or token from the Accounts and Passwords section of an examined device that has been used to log into Mi Fit. When authorizing by token, note that the token is only valid till a new authorization in Mi Fit occurs.
Once authorized in the cloud, Oxygen Forensic® Cloud Extractor proceeds to acquire data from it. The process may take some time, the duration depending on the volume of available data. Investigators can get access to the following information from the Mi Fit cloud:
- Data about the account owner
