One of my biggest qualms with the Lock Screen on any iPhone or iPad is the fact that the number pad for passcode entry always has the same layout. This means that even if someone who’s glancing over your shoulder doesn’t know exactly what numbers you’re tapping on, they can instead easily memorize the positions of the number buttons you tap on to gain access to your device.
The Lock Screen is home to the passcode entry interface, which you as the iPhone or iPad user will generally only ever see when your Face ID/Touch ID authentication fails, or when you fully reboot your device. While there are other instances when the passcode entry interface may appear, they’re a lot less frequent than the aforementioned.
