I just timed my iPad 2 with BT keyboard and password not code. Took seven seconds.
hmm... this seems very long!
Using full passwords with a touch screen makes it slow. No fast way to do it.
I have to give you that! but you said you were using a BT keyboard...
-
When I do have a password I do a Pin on my ipad/phone (I hated the finger print thing, if I had lotion on it wouldn't work). on my Surface I use the picture thing but again I shut that off before going into a meeting.

can you use the 'picture thing' with a domain logon? Is your SP joined to the domain?

Yes which helps keep it down to seven seconds unless it doesn't sync up. Then it takes far longer.
Having to swipe to unlock then switch to keyboard for the password is jarring and inefficient. That's partly why it takes so long.

Tablets definitely have a more difficult time dealing with this. We don't use them here, we are strickly laptops/desktops. Entering a password takes a long as it does to type the password.
I could definitely see the complaint if you have to type a password on a tablet 50+ times a day. In that case I'd be OK with using a 6 digit pin with the hopes that someone would report their device missing ASAP after they noticed it was gone so it could be deactivated. But I'm not worried to much about this, our EHR vendor is so far behind I don't forsee us using tablets (i.e. iPads, android) for at last two more years.

Yes, you can use the picture/gesture login with a domain account.

Tablets and phones definitely drive me crazy with the hundreds of logins per day. Press a button, swipe the screen, type a code. You have to use three distinct input methods for one action.
I'd go crazy if it were not for the fingerprint reader on my iPhone. I am praying that the Mini 3 will have that too. Best new iPhone feature.

I am looking forward to the Surface Pro 3 where I can press the end of the stylus and bypass logins and instantly begin taking notes.

@garak0410 that's a nice feature. I rarely use a tablet for notes though. I need email and apps that quickly.

I am looking forward to the iPhone 6 for myself for that feature. I will not have a phone with a simple or no passcode, that is just inviting problems, but i do so get tired of not having easy response access to some things.

By simple, do you mean 4 digit? What's your fear of that?

it is too easy to steal.
A person many feet away from you can watch you unlock your phone with a 4 digit pin and have a really good idea of what that pin is. They do not have to see your screen, just watch your thumb move.
Go stand in line at the grocery store and keep your eyes open. You do not even have to be blatant about it, and you will pick up the PIN for people's ATM cards in a heartbeat.

I think I'd be more worried about someone stealing my credit card and pin than my phone and pin. I'm sure it happens, but I've never heard of anyone having their pin stolen - bank card or phone.

Not a serious risk in Europe because of massively better security practices. Super common in the states.

Like what? There's nothing stopping @JaredBusch stealing my credit card out of my back pocket, and all he needs is my pin number which he finds super-easy to see. He'll been in Rio drinking tequilas and smoking Cubans before I even know it's missing.

But seriously, you got the point.
Target a person for a pick-pocket / theft. Prior to doing so, observe them in a situation where you can see them use the card to obtain their PIN first. Then when you use the card you will have lower chances to set off any automated red flags because you have the card and the PIN. -
I have been through many adventures and journeys when it comes to taking notes. I have used everything from a golf pencil and a memo pad to a full notebook with a gel ink pen to OneNote on the computer, and I guess it really depends on how prepared you are and how many notes you need to take.
I used to use pen and paper all of the time. In fact, I still carry around a memo pad and a pen with me everywhere. Since I've been taking notes more at my desk, I've been conforming to using OneNote. I also carry a Venue 8 pro tablet around with me with a bluetooth keyboard while on travel so that I can take the appropriate notes there when I am at a client's building or just working remotely. I have that linked into my OneNote notebooks as well and can seamlessly add notes where needed. So far this is working quite well for me because my handwriting is terrible and I can type faster than write, so I can record more information.
I do still have at least five types of paper to write on on my desk though.
