Good evening all -

Just curious, do you password protect your iPhone, or not?

[rws381]

Exchange policy makes me password it. But, to be honest, I don't mind. I like knowing that no one can mess with my phone if I leave it sitting around for a while.

@naviwilliams I guess you didn't listen to episode 34 of Convertcast, eh?

[Leanna Lofte]

Yep, sure do!

What the heck was I thinking...

Anyway, I have now!

So do you password protect? (Ashleigh is still bemoaning the loss of her 3GS and cursing that she's back to using a 2G!)

[gdasilva]

i password protect my 3gs.

[bamf-hacker]

Lock code for sure! How hard is it to enter one when you need to use the phone. Really!!

[msm0511]

I have always password protected mine. I've got a nosy nephew that likes to go through my phone. LOL. I wish you could password protect stock apps too.

i do mine as well. but it only locks after 1 hour. sometimes i'm checking twitter and stuff so often that it becomes a pain. when that is happening its with me. its when i'm gone for a bit that i worry.

[CrazRid]

Yeah i always lock it, When im at home i turn it off cause im always lazy to re-type when i keep chagning songs etc.. but when i step out of the house i put it auto.

No, that's just silly.

the way the iphone uses the code is very irritating. The android systems use a much better way by sliding in a figure across the screen. Better protection and better usage.

Can you please explain a bit better\more? Confused, 'sliding in a figure'? Huh?

This is not a huge deal. The same thing is also available for free for jailbroken iPhones. I tried it and didn't like it. To me, the Android way was very irritating. To each, his own.

lungho, thanks for clearing this up! I had no idea what the person was talking about...

[anon(153966)]

I'm protected; 15 minute rule, and with Mobile ME's Find My iPhone

[mysterio]

I password protect it and even have an Android Lockscreen on top of that.

[lauriefoss]

I use password protection. Haven't you read The Scarpetta Factor??? She lost her phone and all sorts of havoc resulted. It's fiction, but the point was made....
