donhils:No, quiet places. Imagine shouting/saying "unlock/whatever your voice prompt is" in a place as quiet as the library. |

I still like my pattern unlock, cos it gives me an option to either make it visible or not, so when the pattern is invisible, no matter how much you look the movement of my finger, you can never fathom the crosses I've made in such split second. See a screenshoot of my phone setting option.

babafirst: You certainly have a point there. But when a situation gets to getting knocked out cold by an assailant just to access your device, then you know that the person is REALLY after you. The information he/she is looking for is worth more in value than the device itself. |

vizier007: Actually, it should be 210 possible combinations that's 10Cr4. Meaning that the intruder has to unlock it when he must have tried it 210 times. Thank you 1 Like |

Electronzeez: If it's PIN lock option then it is safe.. Anyway, I prefer the PIN lock to pattern lock by dint of being safer. It will be easier to master one's patter draw lock than PIN lock....

vizier007: Remember that there's a difference between selection(combination) and arrangement (permutation). Your last statement betrays your submission ![]() |
Re: Pin Or Pattern-Lock, Which Is More Secure On Android? by vizier007(m): 8:03pm On Dec 21, 2015 |
Decibel:seems you are not getting me.. it's an arrangement.. let's say you have four different pots (each of the four digits of the pin) and 10 possible objects ( each digit that u can input ).. it means the first pot can contain 10, since repetition is allowed, the second pot will contain 10 too, same for the 3rd and 4th pots... therefore the number of possible arrangements/key combinations is still 10^4 = 10000..... maybe it's because I used the word "combination" . the pin is a form of arrangement in the sense that you will need to arrange the numbers in a specific order.. like 1456 or 1111, etc. I guess you should ask other people but 10,000 is a #fact confirmed by many security companies. .... you can check online for articles relating to using pin as a security measure. .. |
