Apparantly that suspect had a 4 digit pin so once they bypassed the Secure Enclave, they can brute force it in 10 seconds

For Phones, 20 character alphanumeric password is a hassle, but for computers, you can easily use a 10 word passphrase.

If you use a long password, bypassing the password entry limit doesn’t matter if the algorithm itself is secure.

In this case, the key was uploaded to a microsoft account… so you don’t even need a back door, just walk right in…
