Number keypad not shown when entering passphrase to unlock the phone

[Julia Palandri]

In order to test another thing I chose a numbers-only passphrase, but every time I have to enter it I need to press a key to enable the number keys, or use the long press feature; both render it more difficult to just get past it. Could it make sense to show the number keys all the time?

Show the number keys where? This sees like an exception type use case.

A code is a (only) 4 digit number password.

If I want to choose a only digits but longer password, I'm forced to use a 'passphrase' kind of password.
In this case, I need to enter digits everytime I want to unblock my phone, but the number keys are not showed in the keyboard I'm provided to enter the passphrase. I need to press an extra key to reveal them. We could make the number keys available at all times on a top row of the keyboard we display currently, so as to make it easier for people choosing only digits or letters+digits passphrase to enter their password to unblock the phone.

We could probably fit in a full number row at the top for all password fields, since we won't be displaying the word-ribbon, since a lot of good passwords include numbers this could be quite handy
