Hi, if you type kind of fast and you have touch typing enabled, you can
quickly enter the code and interrupt voice over before it voices out the
numbers. I do this all the time and it's not an issue. In fact, in the
Amazon Bluetooth keyboard podcast I recorded earlier this week I had to
unlock my phone and that was in the recording.

Hello,
Thanks for responding. I figured as much, but thought I’d ask in case
there was a solution out there that I wasn’t aware of. If nothing else,
it’s a code I use only for the device and not tied to any other
financial or other sensative information.

Hi,
If you are going to use a pass code with VoiceOver, there is no other
option than to have the numbers spoken or you would have no idea what
you were entering.
So, I'd suggest using ear buds when in public if you don't' want to
broadcast your pass code.
Or, change the pass code often.
HTH,
Richard

Hello list,
So after a long time not getting around to it, I finally set a passcode
on my iPhone (4S).
Anyway, that wasn’t the problem, but now of course, when I unlock my
phone and am prompted to enter in my four digit code, VO announces what
I’m typing. This kind of defeats the purpose. At home it’s not an issue,
but when I’m out and about or around people whoever they may be, what’s
the point since my code is announced to anyone keen enough to hear?
I know that Apple just couldn’t have had VoiceOver say star, star, star,
star or asterisc, asterisc, asterisc, asterisc for every number we press
since we would then have no idea if we’re pressing the right key
combination or not. My question is if there’s in fact some other means
to protect our four digit code from being announced in a way where it’s
not broadcasted to the four winds whenever we wish to unlock our device?
I poke around the settings and didn’t find anything if there was
anything at all. I guess enabling a dial pad feature to recreate the
tones when making a call could be a solution, but those tones are so
subtle, it really takes a trained ear to differentiate them from one
another.
Anyway, just thought I’d ask if anyone knows of a better solution.
