I can break any Samsung model lock screen, finger print passcode complex pass and pattern even face unlock. For now Iphones are a little harder but still possible. Unless Samsung starts crypting lock keys with a more secure algo. Maybe more xor |

[Fingerprint is just a prank, i have opened up to 10 or more phones using fingerprint. So it is not the best ] |

Lighthouseman: The person that stole the phone started enjoying the phone the next day. we have gurus in this country. It will take them 5mins to open the phone reformat it and insert their own SIM into the phone and start making calls. So my brother the phone is not useless to them. It is very useful to them Even iPhone that is boasting of their security, boys are are going through the back doors to open the phone. It is happening here in Nigeria. |

For those saying fingerprint is secure. It's as easy as me waiting for u to fall asleep, den I pick up ur phone and easily place ur thumb on d scanner and that's all it takes to unlock ur phone. |

LET ME DROP MY VIEWS HERE 1. Just like others have said, most persons (here in Nigeria) that would want access to your phone won't really have the time and technology to film you and then decode that. And the fact they have to do that (film you) sounds funny because they will be easily spotted. 2. Patterns are not as easily guessed or memorised as passwords or pins. My case is a typical example. I have shown my woman my pattern couple of times but she keeps asking me for it when she wants to open the phone. Of course, she rarely has a need to use my phones. However, last week we went out to kilimanjaro and she needed to use my ATM to pay for our orders. Once I gave her the ATM, she simply said "your pin is still xxxx right?" I nodded and she happily went away to use it smiling yet I don't even remember the last time I told her my ATM pin JUST ENSURE THAT YOUR PATTERNS ARE NOT VISIBLE 3.NEVER STORE VERY SENSITIVE INFORMATION ON YOUR PHONE OR EVEN TRY TO WRITE THEM DOWN....IT IS BETTER YOU MEMORIZE THEM OR HAVE A PASSWORD PROTECTED FILE THAT HAS YOUR SENSITIVE DATA. BUT MEMORIZING THEM IS BEST 4. Dont forget to get all Aliexpress items at up to 50% off on PHCPROMO.COM 5. Never miss a success tip on SUCCESS SECRETS HAVE A NICE DAY |

Simplep: I was thinking he would mention something like a hacker viewing one's pattern on one's screen. To me patterns aren't safe because one can easily view it when the phone is on sleep mode. 1 Like |

SleekMadam:For now, I think the finger print feature of most recent phones are the best for now pending when new means of cracking them easily are being found. |
Re: Why Pattern Locks Are Not Secure On Android And The Best Alternatives by SleekMadam: 9:58pm On Jul 23, 2017 |
promise46: True |
Re: Why Pattern Locks Are Not Secure On Android And The Best Alternatives by SleekMadam: 9:07am On Aug 12, 2017 |
