You can set a more complicated password to unlock your iPhone. I know this because I do it.

- lxgr 4y agoSure, but I won't, and neither will many other people, realistically. There is no technical need at all for the same password to gate both local device unlock and remote end-to-end encryption key escrow. It's a pure security vs. availability (and realistically genius bar support load) tradeoff, and I even think they nailed it for the vast majority of users! I just wish they'd let advanced users participate in that tradeoff more actively.
