| Pin Or Pattern-Lock, Which Is More Secure On Android? by Electronzeez(op): 12:05am On Dec 21, 2015 |
You will agree with me android operating system is the most vulnerable of all mobile operating system , many reasons play here but the most important happens to be the fact that android is an open source OS. Despite the easy access to bypass android security lock . you can't go in to someone android phone without a key , this key can either be a PIN (a four digit number ) OR a pattern lock ( a three by three matrix grid code). Without these form of password you might need to restore the android phone to default , the hard reset is the term here. There is one way to keep your android phone off tresspasser from your files , document etc. This is your password . Choosing the right form of password is important , that is PIN or pattern lock . without any trick I can always break in android users phone that use pattern lock than those with PIN lock. One reason is that there is always a pattern track on your android screen . the more ofen you make use of the pattern lock the easier it is to view your pattern track . PIN remain the best form to keep your android lock temporarily as it is difficult to be guess correctly all the time . Let me know if you have a different thought on this . |

@Op you are right.. although I have seen some crazy patterns but the PIN lock still remains the best cos there are actually 10,000 possible combinations for 0 - 9 when using 4 digits pin.. nobody would want to go through that stress ( most ppl will give up after trying for more than five times ).. |

Pin is more secured than pattern. That's why iPhones still uses pinlock. |

No lock is best. Please who has ever seen a happy woman? |
| Re: Pin Or Pattern-Lock, Which Is More Secure On Android? by Sunnycliff(m): 9:45am On Dec 21, 2015 |
Pin lock seems more safe because pattern can carefully be accessed when you look directly on the screen through a tilted position. |
