        Just tried the V3 scenario. It looks good, it makes sense, and it works well. Could you add this to OTA 23 (or 24 if too late now) and see how it goes when 'released into the wild'?

        Thanks for working on this feature and introducing the concept of the tester. This could well be the future of new feature introduction!

          @ian thx, so i've implemented the V3 in system-settings https://gitlab.com/ubports/core/lomiri-system-settings/-/merge_requests/328/ and removed the preview.

          Now, it is too short to add it to OTA-23, lets hope it will land on OTA-24 šŸ˜‰

            Hi!
            Lovely design!
            What I am missing is some sort of randomizing option. To prevent people from reading a passcode by watching the fat smear on the display. If I could toggle a randomize option it would make it much harder to break into the system.
            I realise this is not very nice to blind people using an UT phone, but there are other options for them.
            Regards,

              @jeroenbaten We could improve later i think, but i'm afraid every one would want a different setting...
              and i've already tested random digits, it is more annoying than helpful, it takes too long to find your digits ^ ^
              I think we can compare like it is today, the pin-code prompts have a keyboard always in the same layout, and we can see on screen what keys we tap.

                Pardon my intrusion. Maybe they don't have to be random, they can be rotated by random places (the order will be preserved), have you tried that?

                But I agree, that can wait.

                    Dont overwork it. Its fine as it is. If you need something more secure, use a proper password. My two cents...

                      Even if not for now, a randomizer could be great.
                      A compromise between "fast" and "more secure".
                      Optionnal so people that don't want it can stay the fastest way.

                      That could be randomisable too (optionnal again), like my bank is doing for account access. šŸ˜‰

                        @keneda Should this feature not be in OTA 22?
