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 Joseph ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eileen Misrahi" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 7:21 AM Subject: Re: Quicker Way to Unlock Phone 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?
