How many people secure their iOS device with a reasonable strength password? (Mine is>10 characters, upper/lower/number/symbol). A common user defense against strong password practice is that "it is always in my possession and I'd no immediately if it was gone."I have people using that argument to justify NO password or PIN.
That was exactly what I meant, though I guess I didn't state it quite that clearly. And, in which case, there is NO security. Go figure... Tim Doty
