        Hey nice long and civilized disussion πŸ˜‰
        Just wanted to add my two cents, So when it fixed it should not impact the speed that the device is opened.

        No need to make the device slower and less usable beacuse of design...

          Personally, I find it more trustworthy if you have to press the ok button after entering the PIN....

            It's not for the PIN (SIM), wich entering sequence didn't change (and still have to press enter), it's for passcode, for wich we didn't have to press enter before change neither.

            There is no reason for the "corrected" design animation to be slower, that's just a 4th dot to fill with white...

            @cliffcoggin Yes, for me and others (see filed issue) it does matter. When I first saw the actual behavior I was shocked a bit. It violates the POLA.

            Please don't forget lot of users here are not native english speaking, and are way far from knowing english acronyms (even in my own native language i don't know 10% of them).

            So i digged the net to understand, wich is not convinient.

            If you're also wondering "What the hell is POLA ?!", just click here

            Not to be mistaken with this other POLA, wich can concern Ubuntu Touch too...

                    Yes, i gave a link in my post leading to wikipedia.
                    I'll edit to make it clearer.

                    That part didn't change.
                    And if we must hit enter for sim pin, it's because (i believe), if you mistake 3 time sim is locked, so it let you a chance to correct before validating, for the device pin, you can mistake as much as you want, there is no problem, and that's a bit quicker unlocking device without having to hit enter.

                      Hi

                      From the security point of view, just one remark ...

                      • When I enter the passcode on my laptop/desktop, I have to end it with Enter and all this seems normal to anyone

                      ... and two questions : isn't it dangerous or at least a limitation that :

                      • the keyboard is automatically set to numeric if a number is expected ?
                      • the number of expected digits is indicated by the circles ?

                      Why do developpers always want to change what is working fine ?
                      is there not enough things to repair ?

                      BR

                        It has always behaved in the same way, it has just been changed to make it prettier.

                        If you want to get the normal keypad with a 4 number pin and press enter to enter, you are free to set the option "password" and it will work like that. πŸ˜‰

                        Security also depends on people, as I said, if you want more security, put a password.
                        I want to unlock the phone quickly, as I am not in a "hacker" environment. 😜

                            There is no need at all to go to war over anything, especially since there are options. If a pin, or the behaviour of the pin entry screen, is deemed insecure, then there is the option to specify a password for unlocking. This can be anything and will present a keyboard for entry and must also be confirmed with an ENTER. Seems like the exact behaviour you were looking for.

                              @arubislander : no problem. Sorry if the expression "got to war" has not the same meaning in english than in french. It was just a way to say "not important".
                              I'll look at your explanations later and reply if usefull

                                @arubislander It's very clever! I hadn't thought of that but indeed, that's exactly how I wanted it to work when replacing the PIN with the Password. Great ! Thanks
