- Karunamon 8y agoUsability and security are usually at opposite ends of the spectrum - and keep in mind that even a pin code + face/touch ID is infinitely better than the zero security most people had prior.
- Yizahi 8y agoI was talking about better security that was present in iOS10 and then degraded by Apple in iOS11. See the link - https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2017/11/ios-11-horror-story-the-rise-and-fall-of-ios-security/ https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2017/11/ios-11-horror-story-the-r...
- bunnycorn 8y ago> PIN code Then write down your PIN code somewhere else, now you don't have a "single point of failure".
- Yizahi 8y agoHow is writing down PIN related to security? It is still a single point of failure, attacker knowing PIN can gain access to everything in your account - iCloud, password backups etc. And in iOS10 security was better, so Apple consciously decided to degrade it in iOS11.
