That’s for breaking a bcrypt hash, and I don’t believe there’s any way to extract the pin hash from a phone since it happens inside a secure hardware layer (like a TPM). If it is possible, the attacker would most likely have to physically destroy your phone to get at it. To bruteforce a 4 digit pin with retry lockout timers, it takes 16 hours to try all combinations, according to a tool I found that auto-enters pins via usb keyboard emulation.

The linked article doesn’t mention whether it can bypass the max attempt lockout or not. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but the article you linked does nothing to support your claim.
That said, an alphanumeric password is certainly more secure than a PIN, no doubt.

Sure bro, put a 30 character password into your phone every time you want to find the nearest fucking coffee shop.

I just needed this info out there, I don’t really care what you do - I just need to make sure Lemmy stays safe and you’re spouting leaky insecurity disguised as best practices.
Best of luck

I think I just leaked a little right now. I don’t believe you have a 30 character unlock on your phone. That doesn’t make sense on a device someone uses multiple times a day in one hand at like a bus stop or something.

I use a 15 character pw with a mix of upper and lower case, numbers, and symbols, which according to that link is pretty damn good.

Of course I do. FaceID allows me to input it exactly once a week, sometimes less.
What don’t you understand?

30 characters is like five words. Entirely doable. You can take your favorite TV show, sort character names by some logic and mispell a few of them to make a very strong very long password.

If you’re in the USA and a cop gets your phone they’re going to pop it onto a graybox and will be digging through your shit up to their elbows. I wish I were wrong

That’s fine. I didn’t help them.

With biometrics I only enter it once a week, at the very most. It’s insane to me that people want their phones to be less secure, but best of luck to you and your super secure TSA lock on your phone lol

'the fuck kind of biometric unlock is that? I’m actually curious what you’re using.
