Michał Sawicz (saviq) wrote : Storage of passcode vs. passphrase lock type unreliable

It's happened to me a few times that even though I selected passcode (4 digit) as my lock (e.g. in the wizard), I was still presented with a full keyboard.

I'm worried that for someone it might result in the opposite, rendering the phone inaccessible because you can't type your passphrase with a pin-pad.

We either need to improve robustness of the setting (ideally storing the lick type next to the password itself in PAM somehow?) or allow switching to a full keyboard entry in the passcode lockscreen.
