I think if anyone is worried about this then they should definitely be careful. I find I'm quick enough with either the hand writing mode or even just entering my passcode with the numeric keypad, that I doubt anyone can pick up my passcode. Of course, if someone is hovering over me often while I'm entering my passcode then I think I'd be suspicious. Of course, someone would also have to get their hands on my iPhone even if they were able to figure out my passcode.

I say be careful when in public using the handwriting feature. Some sighted 
people can tell what numbers/letters are being written by the motion of your 
finger/hand.

For those that are hesitant to enter their passcodes in public areas,
you could also enter them with either Braille screen input or
handwriting input. I use handwriting a lot to enter my passcode and
mostly get the code right on the first try. At least with handwriting,
each number is not announced when I write it in. I have never used
Braille screen input, but it probably works the same way. I do wish I
knew of a gesture to erase the last thing entered with handwriting,
like you can do with braille input, but oh well. I've got several
chances to enter the passcode in correctly so it doesn't bother me.

This is where having reduce motion turned on is very helpful. I had that
same feeling when I first got my phone.

I would probably put in a number code if I were to dare to do it.  Is it
the number type keypad that comes up, or are the numbers across in one
line? I'm thinking you have to be able to do these without hearing what
you've written, but could you confirm this please.

Hello Everyone,

As I have posted, I support several people on both iOS and OSX as both
clients and friends.

One of my friends, a fellow VoiceOver user, until now, has fervently
refused
to setup either a Touch-ID or PIN on her iPhone 6, despite my suggestions
to
the contrary.  She said she thought it was too much trouble.

Today, she called me and told me that she, upon returning from a short
vacation with her family, accidentally left her phone in her sister's
house,
approximately 800 miles away.

While her sister will FedEx the phone back to her, my friend was afraid
that
her sister would and, according to her, most likely did, snoop on her
phone.


She truly laments not having taken the time to setup her Touch-ID and
password.

I'm tellin' you, lock it down before it's too late (smile).

Mark
