As far as your phone is concerned, yes. Nine times, for most people.

  Believe it or not it's actually nineteen times, not nine. Though the last ten introduce a fair amount of inconvenience and eww-factor when unlocking your phone.

    I don't know about Apple phones, but I had luck getting my phone to unlock by using my chin. It wasn't really reliable (stopped working after a few hours, probably because of the beard growing), but I'm sure we can figure something out.

    I tried using TouchID with my toes and it didn't really work.

    Being male, I actually have 21 digits, if you can stomach more inconvenience and eww-factor when unlocking a phone.

  > Nine times, for most people. It's not too difficult to get access to the full 50000-odd combinations (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204587 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204587 for where that number comes from) Apple hardware can identify with a little work. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/30/hacker-fakes-german-ministers-fingerprints-using-photos-of-her-hands https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/30/hacker-fa...

    You can only try a few before the phone locks itself, I believe.

      The idea was to be able to use more than your own 10 fingers for locking/unlocking as the owner. Not to brute-force TouchID as a thief.
