I use a crazy pattern, believe me if I open it 20times in your presence, you will never get it. And one thing I like about pattern is that you have to bring it to me to unlock it for you unlike pin that I can dictate for you. In other news, I am 22 today. Shower of likes............. 4 Likes |

Pin is more secured than pattern. Though Finger print is the best only that it has a draw back. In case of any cut or tear on ur finger, your name is sorry |

Electronzeez: Where you get it wrong is saying it is vulnerable cos it is open source. Open source is the most secured if you ask me why I will tell you. |

I believe Pattern lock is the best especially when you make it invincible(As in no one can see the traces when you draw your pattern). It has prove to be very effective but i don't really have any reasons to lock my phone except when i am in school, I lock the APPs rather not the whole phone like my Whatsapp, Emails, and some games to prevent friends from killing my battery and going where they aren't suppose to. And with Pattern even trusted friends have to bring it to you to unlock it yourself unlike with PIN you can just easily tell them the numbers. You can go through my Pictures and Videos but never my private chats. What's with some people self, the first time they hold your phone they don't even think of anything else but go straight to your whatapps messages. This is very immature. |

Pin is more secure but in addition to face unlock, voice unlock or fingerprint. |

Electronzeez: In the hacker community, closed application are more targeted cos they charge for it and thy have many loopholes. If they have a loophole like in windows phone OS, they would report it to windows and wait till windows declare it and then fix it. It is called a zero day vulnerability. If it were to be open source, you have the right to fix it urself and report back to the community with an already working solution for them to fix and upgrade all over. That is why Android is everywhere... HTC, Samsung, Sony, Infinix, Huawei, Tecno... most phone companies got their own version of it. Look at Internet Explorer and Firefox for example... Nobody would dare go for IE cos of its lame excuses here and there but they started way before Firefox and look at the upgrades Firefox has got over the years... Their release logs would show you how much people from all over the world are helping in developing Firefox by providing fixes and codes... That is why it is open. Open is the way forward. Linux that is free is declared the best OS in terms of security. Hope I have helped a bit. 1 Like |
