This is very nice and I say that anyone that doesn't may hate the idea of someone looking throughout your device when they was only to be making a call . very creepy . check out this new feature called SCRAMBLE PIN.

now if they can add a background when you entered the wrong pin showing in big red LETTERS saying "GET OUT OF MY BUSINESS". I think we will be set . but check out scramble pin very nice feature
 
That is pretty cool, but it's really not needed. If you're smart, you'll make a pin that isn't relevant enough to you for someone to figure out. Meaning don't use a number that someone who knows you could figure out based on info they know about you. The statement they made "but it doesn't take too many tries to guess it" is completely ludicrous and all out false. There are a little over 10,000 combos that can be made for a 4 digit PIN on a basic phone dialer. We were taught that in a Security segment in Networking class. And with the limited amount of tries that a phone gives you, it's not even feasible to figure a random PIN with no more than 5 attempts at a time. It would be pure luck!
This post probably shouldn't be in "All Things Root" section. ;)
