Managing Simple PINs

wkleem

Almost all mobile platforms have at least simple PINS nowadays. How do I manage them?

IOS have two categories of restrictions: Touch ID and and Passcode and Settings Restrictions.

I've found myself deleting apps while my phone was in the pocket, for example. That part of iOS has a simple PIN restriction.

Where do I keep these PINs?

Hi @wkleem,

I keep mine in Secure Notes. :)

Thanks Ben. What about phone PUK codes?

Ben

I don't personally have any PUK codes as I'm in the US, but I imagine Secure Notes would work for those as well? If you wanted a way to view them separately from anything else, you could create a tag for them.

Thanks. Previously, pre 1Password or anything else, phones were by default left unsecured. That was a decade or more ago. Simpler times then.

Ben

Indeed. :)
