Why have it (PIN or password) at all?
- aeternum 6y agoIt's an iOS requirement. They would have to get Apple to build them a custom version of iOS, or root it themselves. Neither of which is very maintainable. Probably easier to just use the PIN.
- ladberg 6y agoIt’s not an iOS requirement (but possibly it makes you make one to start out, I’m not sure).
