Passcodes

What passwords are you talking about that are now visible?

C

 

he's talking about safari passwords.

i don't understand why someone would not want to keep their phone unlocked and not have a passcode.

if you don't like your passwords being visible in safari, then use a passcode, genius

without a passcode your usb port is wide open

solution
use a passcode and upgrade to a 5s, and use your fingerprint
without iCloud you might as well put up a sign saying please steal my iPhone

 

Another precaution is do not leave you phone laying around to be stolen. My phine never leaves my person so theft is pretty hard to accomplish. So many stories about people who left their phine somewhere and came back and it was gone . . . . Can you imagine that!

 

I don't understand the point of stealing an iPhone. Isn't Find my iPhone/activation lock enabled by default, when signing into iCloud? I would venture to guess the vast majority of iPhones are locked down and as good to a thief as a paper weight.

 

They can still be sold for parts and there's plenty of unsuspecting buyers who aren't aware of activation lock.

 

Sickening.

 

Sometimes thieves are not too smart.
