What’s a good way to make a secure pin for your phone? How many digits should it be? #asknostr
Discussion
6+ digits
Avoid common patterns or personal info
Use non repeating numbers
Don’t reuse it on other devices
if you intentionally avoid repeating numbers then you are weakening your PIN
a good chunk of random PINs will have repeating digits
a random number generator that never generates the same number multiple times in a row with a long enough sequence is a biased one
Makes sense. So just using a (truly) random number generator would do the trick. Good to know
I use four, but I also have anything of importance on the phone pin'd or password protected and I use a self hosted pw manager for all of that. Also have it set for auto-reboot after 8 hrs of not being unlocked.
Why the auto reboot? What kind of OS are you using?
Graphene. Its one of their built in security features. Forces sim pin and phone pin to get in and a lot of services are not running until fully unlocked
Also with Calyx. I have one of each
If you use android, check settings, security, more privacy/security. The option is there is stock android has it
Unfortunately I’m still cucked by iOS but I’ll be switching to graphene as soon as I pay off this phone
Had an employer issued iphone once. They never reclaimed it after I got fired over the jab so this is what I did with it😎
Could’ve sold it for some sats haha did you sue your employer over the jab?
CEO is kinda connected. Im sure he did it with zero worries
