@endonend I'm still scared to use it. On the other hand I have a 10+ digit passcode (so I can avoid the regular keyboard while still not displaying the anticipated length of the passcode). I figure as long as the phone is locked, even Grey Box would take too long to hack in.

@Bruce I was scared because of my kids trying to guess my passcode. I can’t imagine it would hold their attention for three hours though (or even me not being near my phone for that long!) Glad to see the feature was developed with a little thought.

@endonend I'm mostly scared of somehow being a complete idiot and managing to wipe the phone myself. Keeping the feature off saves me some irrational anxiety. 🙃

@Bruce I have certainly thought of the same! Had a few times where I somehow did a couple attempts in my pocket.
