Problem: Lockscreen-Code is at least 5 digits + Enter (= 6 touches). Maybe some people need this high security, but maybe others coming from other platforms feel annoyed (iOS = min. 4 touches, Android = min. 5 touches)

Why not 4 digits on Jolla? A) Because 4 digits could be confused with the PIN Code which is also 4 digits. B) 4 digits is not as safe as 5 or more plus enter

Solution: Make 3 or more digits possible and no enter needed. So everybody can use the level of comfort and security he/she wants. Problem A could be solved if PIN-Code needs an Enter for submit, Lockscreencode not (like on iOS). Problem B is a personal problem (everybody can now use a code-length he/she likes) but could also be solved, if there would be a growing time delay the more times somebody enters a wrong code. So even a 3-digit-code could take really long to trial and error.
