I don't see the Shortcuts app in the list of applications to be able to apply this same technique to it.You’d probably also want to do this for the Shortcuts app itself, to prevent someone from disabling the automation.
It's not rocket science. However, there should be a system toggle.oh waw!!!! so easy and userfriendly.
Ffs.. without a how-to not a single user will ever figure this out.
You need to be on iOS 16.4, as per the article.I wanted to try this but I don't have the 'lock screen' option when i type 'lock'. I just get everything else but the screen![]()
Right, it turns out you can’t do that. I only claimed that you’d want to, though, which is still true.I don't see the Shortcuts app in the list of applications to be able to apply this same technique to it.
I am now understanding the holes in apple’s security better having read the recent posts in MR. Now, in addition to 2fa, changing trusted number, Alfa numeric code, and adding the screen time password layer, all vital passwords (including iCloud ironically) will be removed from keychain and stored on separate encrypted password manager. I don’t see any other way around thisYeah just about the only app that gets this right is 1Password. It allows biometric locking of itself and most importantly if someone adds a new fingerprint or face to the OS, 1Password locks out biometric authentication until the separate 1Password password is used. This prevents someone who has your passcode from adding their biometrics to the phone and accessing 1Password. (Shockingly, many financial institutions don’t take this step!)
And don't all shortcuts and automations disappear if you delete the shortcuts app?Completely useless since the Shortcuts app itself cannot be protected like this.
Needs to be on a per app basisI don’t understand why they have not added a toggle in the FaceID settings yet to enable it for any 3rd party app. Why rely on the developers to implement it. Sometimes I don’t get Apples restricted implementations of features.
I guess being able to hide the „hidden“ folder in Photos and lock it was a start
I have iCloud keychain OFF and 1Password ON. I just tried holding my finger over the camera and unlocking my phone with my password. My banking apps try FaceID, and if that fails they want a password -- a password that only 1Password can fill in. So, on that front I feel like I'm protected from PIN jacking.Yeah just about the only app that gets this right is 1Password.

Shortcuts in general are a mess. I imagine a on device chat not that could build these would be much better received AND USED by the masses. I personally would like to do more with my iPhone, but the brain damage like the above is why I do not.The shortcut is a mess.
Because realistically not all apps will add that feature? Hopefully Apple implements it on an OS level.Why we should go through all the steps when an app-based enhanced privacy protection feature should be essential?
I thought the same thing, but it doesn't work after trying it out.In principle you should be able to set up an automation that asks the user for a specific input. Haven’t tried this though, and the input would be a plain-text input, not a password input.
Exactly! First thing I thought too. They need a choice for biometrics only.This workaround sounds promising -- but doesn't it just use the same spied passcode that thieves used to unlock the phone in the first place?
Wouldn't call it completely useless, but yeah, it's nothing more than a band-aid like the door to your apartment.Completely useless since the Shortcuts app itself cannot be protected like this.
There is no workaround for lack of awareness, and keeping your pin/passcode safe.This workaround sounds promising -- but doesn't it just use the same spied passcode that thieves used to unlock the phone in the first place?
Yes there is lmao it’s called biometrics like faceidThere is no workaround for lack of awareness, and keeping your pin/passcode safe.
