My solution: make your phone hard to open. if you use a long password that is difficult to enter, you will use it much less.
then on the phone, you can use other apps to help modify your behavior, firefox with leechblock, etc.
- brador 1y agoThis doesn’t work, on the streets you need access fast. Transit, shopping, even camera to record something fast. Typing a long pass simply takes far too long at the wrong times.
- lrvick 1y agoI spend plenty of time on streets of lots of cities, with no cell phone at all, so I hardly see a slow-access phone as limiting either. I could get a camera maybe, or one of the tiny emergency 911 keychain phones that do not require a cell phone plan... but a smartphone? Why is that needed? I use planes, trains, taxis, rideshare, hotels all over the world and shop all over the world and never been denied anything for not having a phone.
- ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7 1y agoYeah, I enable quicker forms of authentication if I know I am going to need to access my phone often (like when using maps, or the camera). Then I set it back when I notice it doesn't prompt for a password. I think it is a good practice from a security perspective as well. I am used to doing these things though. For example, I use NoScript in the browser with deny all as the default setting. To me, it is worth taking some extra steps to prevent unwanted alteration of my behavior.
