Feature request: Randomize PIN pad option

Hi there

When requesting a PIN to unlock the app after switching back from another app, I'd like you to display the lockscreen PIN pad layout in random order. That will prevent others from easily memorizing your PIN pad unlock entry (shoulder surfing), or guessing your PIN based on fingerprints left on the screen.

    Hey @mbonde. :) I think there are several great options when it comes to improving the lock screen, such as adding support for fingerprint scanners. We are reviewing our options right now and I would be happy to pass on your feedback to the team. Thank you.

    One option to prevent finger smudge analysis reduce the size of the keypad and then randomly position it on the screen. To my mind, this is better than randomising the relative key positions as for a lot of people, myself included, the input pattern is a key way of remembering the code.

    This is also a great suggestion, Richard. I'll go ahead and pass this idea along to the team as well. :)
