I would be very surprised if it is that high now even with the early adopter skew. Reports say that last year it was around a quarter of smartphone users use passcode locks on their work phone (http://www.welivesecurity.com/2012/02/28/sizing-up-the-byod-security-challenge/ http://www.welivesecurity.com/2012/02/28/sizing-up-the-byod-...). I imagine 5S rates are higher than that, but 90% would be insanely impressive. When it comes to computer security, as usual, people's apathy is the biggest problem.

- rossjudson 13y agoThat's an option set by your IT department. Annoyingly, mine does the same thing. It doesn't have to be that way.

- pfranz 13y agoI'm sure opt-in/opt-out is a major factor, too. I don't have a 5S, but I'm pretty sure it's opt-out. I think even after upgrading to iOS7 I had to opt-in again to turn on the numerical pass code.
