Are you saying you can’t have a 4 digit pin? Because if you are then I just want to say that you can have 4 digits if you really want, it just defaults to a 6 digit during setup and there is an option to change to a 4 digit if you want.
Also. Password reuse if a bad thing. If you are really going to reuse a 20 year old pin, you might as well disable pin security completely.
- taywrobel 7y ago> If you are really going to reuse a 20 year old pin, you might as well disable pin security completely. What a foolish statement. Having a pin at all prevents a whole lot of attack vectors, even if weak. Like someone at random picking up the phone and getting personal information off it from any app lacking secondary authentication. Having a weak pin won’t protect you from someone actively seeking to attack you specifically (a targeted attack). But most crimes are crimes of opportunity, not targeted, and any pin at all reduces the opportunity.
- _nalply 7y agoI think you are right, but I am afraid it doesn't help the conversation here if you give a value judgment.
- elandrum 7y agoSome corporate polices require 6 digits. I literally am not able to set a 4 digit pin on my watch or my phone because of the policy.
