Hello Mark, Glad to read you’re getting along so well with your new iPhone.
I suppose one could temporarily turn off speech and rely on VoiceOver’s clicks as guidance. What I do is to swipe around a bit rather than landing on the digits directly so the casual listener does not necessarily know which digits were entered. I think a privacy option could be applied to any input field designated as a secure one too for passwords and the like. One thing that has intrigued me over the years is why on a telephone keypad 1, 2, and three are above 4, 5, and six whereas on a calculator and tills they are below? Thanks to all list members for your contributions this year and to our Mark for moderating the group. A little early but all the best to you all for 2023.
