There’s being careful about iPhone security and then there’s…. this.
Over the weekend, Japanese Twitter user yossy1999116 posted a video clip shot on the subway, showing a user with an historically long and complex passcode unlocking their iPhone. If you’ve ever wanted an advert for how Touch ID can improve your life, this is almost certainly it.

I do have to wonder why yossy1999116 was going around filming people unlocking their phones, though!

This can’t be real!
You can only set 6 digits max as your passcode……?
But now that it’s being filmed, anyone can slow it down and tell what numbers are being pressed. This dude will have to redo his password. It’s true that Touch ID would be easier and just as secure.
So much porn on there!
All that password to get into your Whatsapp to see your friend has sent “hey”
