I'm not saying that everyone will take less than 5 tries but if that possibility exists then I don't really feel that secure about it. Right now it took me about 20 tries of random gestures without looking at the phone to unlock it although if a stranger picked it up he/she will only have 5 tries.tbims01 likes this.01-31-14 06:43 PMLike 1

To my amazement it had unlocked on the first try!
I swear that is the truth.
After numerous attempts to repeat it, my morning has been ruined by multiple warning messages.
Nonetheless it is food for thought.

- You don't get twenty tries, and the odds that you would randomly open it are astronomically against. I won't bother trying to explain the math, but it's as secure as a fingerprint (moreso, actually, considering that the BlackBerry can't be rooted or jail broken) in terms of the number of possible combinations.
But yes I entirely agree that the odds against that happening again are astronomical.
Combined with a good password, I believe that the device lock behaviour using Picture Password is entirely secure.
The picture password has enabled me to shorten the locking period on the device, allows me to unlock it with minimal effort and is overall a fantastic addition to a great OS upgrade.
(So as not to derail the OP's thread;
I should add that this update has finally given me the confidence to ask for that raise! )

From Zuri my Z10.02-01-14 12:43 AMLike 0 - The Blackberry 10 Platform is the BEST on the market....i'm always amazed at what it can do....the Android apps that it will run that my Android tablet will NOT run! I've had a number of apps that my Android tablet says "your device is not compatible" when loading it up on Google Play....but yet the Z10 works....also, I recently got HBO Go, Max Go and Sho Anytime installed! (Sho Anytime is pretty cool, whatever is on Showtime East OR West, you can stream it on your device!....PLUS various TV shows and movies!)....top that off with NetFlix...MOVIES AND TV GALORE! (still no Hulu Plus account for me though).....Not only that....I tested out using a Android GPS app that was offline....and it WORKED! It's sweet...there has not been ANY other phone i've loved so much as my Z10.....People may laugh and scoff at me for having a Blackberry Z10...and then I will ask them "what can your phone do that mine can't?".....if they say "Widgets"...I just snicker....I had a FEW Android devices and NEVER used the stupid widgets....so, other than that.....what can an Android or iPhone do that the Blackberry Z10 can't? Well....that's a mystery to me.....the Z10 (and other BB10 devices) have it all.....beautiful screen.....expandable storage...HDMI.....02-01-14 02:58 AMLike 0

- Updated my unlocked z30 running on the T-Mo network with the 1925 leak and latest radio...no issues and runs super duper smooth. Since T-Mo has no OTA update for the z30, I was able to still get the latest and greatest and I am impressed so far, The z30 is a true workhorse for me02-01-14 09:54 AMLike 0
- I just tried the pinch to see unread in the Hub and I nearly lost my sh*t. Bananas! I can't believe I hadn't tried that sooner, it's so smooth and useful!
I nearly lost it here:
And said to myself.....IT IS FINISHED....BEST OF BOTH WORLDS....I AM THE CHAMPION.02-01-14 10:30 AMLike 0 -
- I was aware of picture password but I didn't know it was as secure as advertised... the only issue I have is that the IT policy at my work, doesn't allow me to use it... it actually sends it to my z30 and disable the option. Idiots, is the most secure way...02-07-14 08:31 AMLike 0

Posted via CB1002-07-14 10:04 AMLike 0 - I just showed picture password to one of my penetration testing profs and his assistant and they were immediately impressed and started talking about how they'll be looking to get a BlackBerry for their next phone due to their innovations in security.
It's amazing what a simple and quick demo can do, which is why I'm having a hard time understanding why BB has had so much issue getting the word out about their most amazing features.02-07-14 11:51 AMLike 0 -
