Yeah I saw that article too. It closes that one hole the wsj reported on but pretending there aren’t other credible threats is silly. a bad actor at work could observe the password and then steal the phone at a later date, and take it to the bathroom for instance. That’s just what I’ve come up with from there to of my head.

I agree in spirit with your stance, and it is a good solution to the shoulder surfing problem.

But generally I don’t think it’s plausible for a mass market device to counter every kind of threat, or every iteration of a more specific kind of threat.

In a workplace or home theft scenario, there are _presumably_ better ways of identifying a thief than at, say, a random bar.

My beef with this feature is that my Significant Locations haven’t been accurate for over a month, so my home location isn’t “trusted”.
