I don't think that was the takeaway. I think the vulnerability was that she could see the pattern in the hand-grease on the phone. It wouldn't have mattered if he hadn't used a common pattern, because the path of the finger would still be obvious. The fix is to wipe off your screen after you lock it.
- networked 14y agoI guess you're right. I was thinking along the lines of "a less common pattern is less likely to be noticed and tried correctly the first time around and by then the traces left of it are ruined" but now that I've looked at the photo again I see this is probably wrong. On a phone like that any grease pattern should be pretty obvious.
