I've already got a passphrase on my Signal app. Why do I also need a PIN on top of that?
If it's supposed to be an easier alternative to a passphrase, then okay, but stop showing me the freaking notification to setup a PIN...
- anonymousab 6y agoIt feels like another case of "our great designer knows what you want and need better than you do" developer hubris.
- ViViDboarder 6y agoYou mean the pre-existing “Registration lock” feature? I think they are using the same pin. I’ve had that set for years and I’ve been getting pin reminders for the last several months and I now see “Change your PIN” in my settings.
- balladeer 6y agoI have only set a reg lock pin. I never set any other pin. Then I uninstalled the app. Now when I installed it again today it is asking me for a PIN and the only PIN on Signal I have set was a reg lock pin which is not being accepted. I remember the PIN and it's also stored in BitWarden and KeePass. Now I am locked out.
