[QUOTE="Trident, post: 1032642, member: 99014"] It is unlikely that someone in a public setting will be able to see your pin ever, as Face ID has a very high succession rate. Phones with fingerprint reader are a lot more vulnerable as the succession rate there is lower. 4-digit pin is 10K combinations already and considering it will lock you out for longer and longer, it is almost impossible to brute force it. With a 6-digit pin, it is unthinkable (10^6 = 1 million combinations). Hence all actions described after can’t be performed. Codes for 2-factor authentication (sim card can easily be removed) and browsing through photos, documents, banking apps and other personal information (if someone has managed to unlock the phone) is not an issue exclusive to Apple, it is an issue with all phones. The change of iCloud password can easily be reversed through support or by tapping on “It wasn’t me in the email”. Rescue email must be set. [/QUOTE]
