iOS PIN Security

Thank you @ag_ana, for your response and on point suggestion. A very helpful article, too. Secure, Simple, Easy.

Though the risks are small and the advantages are big, it comes down to firm reluctance to Biometrics. But then there are potential risks of jailbreaking and with PINs, too. The list goes on.

Obviously, this is all at the subjective and personal level. Just wanted to think out loud a bit, and with other(s) input, hone my chosen solution.

For now, I am re-visiting the use of random memorable 1Password Master Password (including the associated large-size hash). JGoldberg has so expertly written about this, along with his Password-Cracking challenge assessment and results. I have gone back-and-forth for a long time on this topic of passwords and entropy. Maybe this time I can internalize 'random memorable' for myself, and then convince other family as well.

Also, I think it would be nice to see an Auto-Lock option of 4 hours.
