Hi Eileen,

Sorry for my confusion as I'm not quite understanding your question, but if 
you're asking if one can use this procedure to bypass the 4-digit pin 
prompt, I'm sorry but it can't be done.

As an alternative, I find that on the pin prompt screen, I use the rotor 
gesture to switch to "Handwriting" and simply draw the numbers on the 
screen. I do this because when using VoiceOver as I enter my pin, VoiceOver 
speaks each number, and I actually would rather no one hear my pin as I 
enter it when in public. By switching to handwriting I can actually enter my 
pin quickly, accurately, and most importantly, without anyone hearing 
anything. <Smile>. As an additional tip I find that using my right hand's 
index and middle fingers to execute the rotor gesture is much faster and 
easier than using forefinger and thumb.

As a suggestion, you might want to try setting your iOS device to request a 
pin after a set amount of time. For example, I normally set my iOS device to 
only ask me for a pin if 4 hours have elapsed. I'm always at home and using 
my iOS device, so I never really reach the 4-hour point, which means I only 
enter a pin after waking up in the morning.

When I leave my home I set the pin prompt to request a pin after 15 minutes 
or 1 hour depending on the location--restaurant being safer than down town. 
<Smile>. While not 100% secure, if I lose my iDevice I am semi-secure the 
person who either stole my iOS device or found it forgotten on a restaurant 
table will not have enough time to take it home and try to extract my 
personal information such as contacts etc. <Smile>.

Similarly, you might want to consider setting your phone to request a pin 
only after 4 hours has elapse. Try this:
Settings > Passcode.
Require pass code: after X hours

Hi Joseph,

Because I just try your technique after the phone was opened, I was 
wondering if this will work when the phone needs the 4 digit code to be put 
in? THK for this time saving tip.
