What is your pattern unlock?

[clamum]

I don't use biometric access. The government can compel you to open $item, as opposed to knowledge based security, which they can't.

I dunno, if they can compel me to put my thumb on the phone they can compel me to speak my PIN. I'd think, anyway.

That violates the right to not self incriminate. It's a fairly esoteric distinction imo, but it is what it is. I also don't use voice commands on my phone. Just cause. My arms and fingers work, so I'll use them.

Voice commands are for when you're driving and you forgot to load up Maps and typing "Gentlemen's Club" is too long and distracting to do it safely. It's come in handsy for me a few times.

Well I guess I should've been a bit more precise, I mean that if they could compel me to put my thumb on the phone then they could make me type in my PIN. I dunno about any of the legal stuff, and I'm not concerned about it anyway. If I'm a criminal in some case then the poop has hit the fan.

I don't use a phone pattern unlock. Phone pattern unlock is supseptable to locking the actuall phone owner for good if something goes wrong with the touch sensors on the phone display.

Well, the phone isn't necessarily going to be much use in that case anyway.

as someone has already stated, upon rebooting, the phone does not allow biometric so reboot it.
face ID requires you to be conscious so they can't just knock you out and stick it in front of your face.

I also have an iPhone Xr -- I use facial recognition!! Love my Phone!!

 

[ch33zw1z]

I use fingerprint or passcode. the passcode is not easy.

 

[cirrrocco]

Mine is a complex variation of a square. I also keep changing my pattern every december'ish

Wouldn't that be the case for pin too? That said, I think pin is considered more secure, so there's that. The pattern would be more secure if it let you use the same dot twice. Don't know why they restrict it, as it reduces the possible patterns.

Tongue recognition is the way to go. Everybody's tongue bumps have to be different.

 

[Brainonska511]

If I want my work e-mails on my phone, I can't use pattern unlock. Plus PIN and fingerprint are more secure.

 

[PJFrylar]

Mine is pretty complex. It uses all 9 of the dots connected with 7 lines.

 

[RossMAN]

elbow print FTW

 

[destrekor]

It's a sufficiently complex swipe pattern. 😉

That's something I love that's available on my Pixel 3 - it's a feature I have enabled called "Lockdown" which I can access by holding my power button and then tapping on "Lockdown" which then disables biometric unlock until unlocked with something you know; be it password, PIN, or pattern. Feel the least bit worried and it's a quick move away.

 

[Platypus]

I would not recommend using a pattern unlock.

The best option is a long, alphanumeric password with a good variety of character types.

If that is too complicated, a long pin, such as > 8 digits is the next best option.

2 to the 1, and the 1 to the 3

 

[Ajay]

Silly iPhone 6s only allows a six digit numeric passcode (or fingerprint, but not and). On the plus side, ten missed guesses and it’s game over.

Would op like my social security number and the street I lived on during third grade as well?

I don’t know about the OP, but if you want to share your brokerage account (s) numbers with me, just PM 😛

Pfft, brokerage accounts are for suckers. I keep my gold bars in my sock drawer

Of course each time I use my phone, I summon a horror that rings terror in all living things near me that are driven to the depths of madness, despair and soul crushing fear.
