I have been pondering the actual security of using a numeric pin for the lock screen.. Even with a 10 digit pin it can easily be cracked in 2 mins with the right setup. Is there a way to use an alphanumeric pin on Mobian. Thanks.

Or better yet have a numeric pin for login, and something else for ssh etc...
Well I have ssh setup with a 4096 bit encryption keys and a 25 char password, but I want to also have the pin be alphanumeric. I'm more worried about if someone gains physical access to the phone while already powered on.  Is this not possible?
