Bug Description

Currently, I have set the passphrase to "5555" of my phone. After I have completed "5555", the phone does not automatically login. Instead, I need to enter the "enter" key on the keyboard to get it verified. I think a good design could be that whenever an input is changed, the system checks it again the stored passphrase, if they both match, the system can automatically login without the need of pressing the "enter". it simply makes the login much easier.

If you have a passphrase simple as that, use the "passcode" lock mode, not passphrase, you'll get the number pad and it will log you in after typing 4 characters.

For security, we won't auto-confirm passphrases as that discloses the length of the passphrase to a potential attacker.
