Thread about numeric passcode strength on iPhones. And *this* is why I consider my rooted Android phone to be more secure than iPhones under a whole category of attack scenarios. Because I can use separate 25-character full ASCII *startup* password and an 8-digit *unlock* code.https://twitter.com/matthew_d_green/status/985885001542782978 …

Android used to allow it. I suspect they stopped because phone reboot is so rare for most users they forget the passcode. Biometric + alphanumeric password isn't a bad split in modern android for some threat models. But then again, they took away true full disk encryption too.

I don't remember Android ever allowing it. It always required rooting and running a vdc command to change the FDE password, AFAIK.

iirc macOS removed this recently, and tied FDE to login passwords :(
