More importantly, Android's pattern draw allows the user to pass on an already traced line. That way you can't guess the pattern just by looking at the screen smudges.
Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say. Why can't you guess the pattern by looking at the smudges?
I don't lock my phone at all. Never have. However, with the new iPhones that don't have a home button, I believe that Apple is forcing you to either use face unlock or a passcode. There is no choice to just leave it unlocked. So, as soon as my iPhone 6s stops working, I will have to choose to: 1) Give in and use my face to unlock. 2) Use a dumb passcode like 000000. 3) Upgrade to the newest iPhone that still has a ho…
Why is it that you choose not to? I think it would be helpful to understand your use case and how you balance your personal tolerance for risk and consequences so we can better consider users like yourself.

I tell this story a lot. But I think in the time of smartphones and such it also represents the only real secure site I thought was truly secure from what I knew of it. This was before smartphones were common, but I think it was ahead of its time in that way. I worked for a company that occasionally would service some of our hardware onsite. One customer was a company that did a lot of work for the military and they…
I'm hoping they've implemented some form of localized EMP that you have to pass through now to leave, because large storage is so incredibly small now that it would be impossible to discern it from articles of clothing. The "hard" part is really just getting the data off the computer in the first place, which is probably why they don't allow bringing in technology anymore. I wonder how much of a micro computer could…
Pure speculation: I have to imagine they take further steps now as what is "no electronics" now isn't reliably what you can easily see now.

Our communications, privacy, and security, are in good hands! Ugh.

111111 is perfectly acceptable for a phone password. His password was just broadcast to the entire world; at least using 111111 means that he doesn't have any illusions about how secure it is. Phone passwords are for protecting things from your family.
