do you have a PASSCODE?

EarthNeutron · Nov 12, 2012, 05:13 PM

If yes, then is it a 4 digit one or one with letters and numbers well?

(mine only has 4 digits)

j.dstasio · Nov 12, 2012, 05:16 PM

I have to have a passcode for my work email. I use 4 digits because It's the fewest I can use.

If/ when an A6 jailbreak is available I'll be using Exchange Unlock again. It can't come soon enough! I hate having to use a passcode.

Hmm.. I actually have no idea what Exchange Unlock is. Could you explain it to me? Maybe I'll make a YouTube video so more people (including me) can find out what it is and how much better than the original passcode it really is.

Cheers!

macjram · Nov 12, 2012, 05:18 PM

I do; I have it come on if I don't use my phone within 30 minutes.

seeharrison · Nov 12, 2012, 05:22 PM

I use a 4 digit passcode that locks after 15 minutes. Since my e-mail client (Good Client) requires a complex password, I feel comfortable with with a 4 digit device code.

For me to know and you to find out.

Seriously I wouldn't talk about security measures on this board.

Too many little kids.

hey my pass code is 6781. What are you going to be able to do with it?

maflynn · Nov 12, 2012, 05:29 PM

I do, mostly because its enforced by my company.

I'm going to find you, steal or iPhone and unlock it! MUAHAHAHAH (and then give it back to you since I already have an iPhone)

anonjd · Nov 12, 2012, 05:33 PM

I use a four digit password when I'm at home.

When I go out, I use an alphanumeric password. I generally don't constantly use my phone when I go out, so I don't mind the extra time it takes to type it in.

These passwords also get changed once a week, because I'm neurotic like that.

tymaster50 · Nov 12, 2012, 05:39 PM

i don't use a password, nobody uses my phone and if someone steals it oh well, don't have anything of value on here since I am only a teenager. Just get Verizon to block the ESN and AT&T to block the IMEI and bam a useless phone.

ejrizo · Nov 12, 2012, 07:00 PM

I have a password but its none of the above options. if you set up a so called complex pass code with just numbers you will get a keypad as opposed to keyboard. From there you can have any amount of digits from 5 to who knows how many digit pin number and you have to press OK to enter it.

look at the pic attached

Jordan921 · Nov 12, 2012, 07:10 PM

I don't bother with a passcode.

Nermal · 07:14 PM

Where's the option for "no, but not taking a risk"?

I simply never leave my phone unattended.

bmat · Nov 12, 2012, 07:22 PM

Yeah. My company requires a seven digit one.

But it I'd worth it to have my work stuff integrated in one device.

eastercat · Nov 12, 2012, 07:22 PM

I didn't vote, because I have a 5 digit numerical passcode and a five minute auto lock.
You might want to think about adding an option for those with longer numbered passcodes.

This is how I have mine set as well.

JonMPLS · Nov 12, 2012, 08:03 PM

no, but I keep all my passwords in SplashID.

It would probably be a boring video. Lol.

Using the Exchange Unlock tweak, you have to enter your passcode once after an initial boot, but not every time you unlock it. Our work exchange policy requires a passcode, which is annoying IMO, so it's just a work around.

sviato · Nov 12, 2012, 08:24 PM
