ArticMine thank you. I learned something new and important. Do you have any citation to backup your claim of Apple's recommend policy of using an insecure password and their DRM?

Quote

Tap Turn Passcode On.
Enter a six-digit passcode. Or tap Passcode Options to switch to a four-digit numeric code, a custom numeric code, or a custom alphanumeric code.

Edit: I stand corrected Apple's default is a 6 digit numeric number as the password also trivial to crack.

But wouldn't the TouchID be creating a secure password that only the user knows?

I am thinking Apple recommends the 6 digit only because they know most users can't remember a long secure password. That is why Apple created TouchID.

Thus I am sorry, but I think you are incorrect on this issue.

I do think Apple uses a separate password to control which s/w you can install, which I detest, but that is an orthogonal issue.

To have TouchID you must have a typeable pw backup

Details please? Where is the specification for all this stuff? Closed source?
