The greeter specification and System Settings specification both use the string "PIN code". That is not "PIN" as shown in the screenshot, but nor is it "passcode" as referred to in the supposed "Desired resolution".
Olga asked me to change "passcode" to "PIN code" in the System Settings design, on the grounds that "passcode" was too similar to "passphrase". <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityAndPrivacySettings?action=diff&rev2=49&rev1=48> Now, that wouldn't necessarily solve the problem: we might be avoiding confusion with passphrases merely by introducing confusion with SIM PINs. Antti provides compelling evidence that "PIN" is strongly associated with SIM PIN. But if that's true, how is it possible (as Tony points out, and I've verified) that Android uses "PIN" for the non-SIM security method? Are Android users often confused about this? Or is it just that the SIM PIN and device PIN prompts have confusingly similar appearance on Ubuntu? (I can't check that because Ubuntu won't yet let me turn on the SIM PIN.) In any case, this is not resolved design-wise: I'm clearing the "Desired resolution" because it does not match either of the specifications. ** Changed in: ubuntu-ux Status: Fix Committed => Confirmed ** Description changed: See http://i.imgur.com/JORXscB.png i guess it should say "Enter your passcode" or something, PIN is something that i totally associate with SIM PIN in the phone context - - ------------------------- - Desired resolution: - - - Change the references to PIN by itself to Passcode in all relevant places - - "SIM PIN" should remain as SIM PIN -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361114 Title: Says "Enter your PIN" when i have no PIN (there's not even a SIM card on the phone) Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: Confirmed Status in The Unity 8 shell: Confirmed Status in “ubuntu-system-settings” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: See http://i.imgur.com/JORXscB.png i guess it should say "Enter your passcode" or something, PIN is something that i totally associate with SIM PIN in the phone context To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ux/+bug/1361114/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
