UsinganumericPINcode（数字密码）tounlockyoursmartphoneorrelyingonaswipe（滑动）pattern?

Newresearchsuggeststhat,atleastwhensomeoneclosebycouldbelookingoveryourshoulder,youmightbesaferwithanold-fashionedPIN.

TheresearchbytheUnitedStatesNavalAcademyandtheUniversityofMarylandtestedwhatcouldbestsecuresmartphonesfromso-called"shouldersurfingattacks".So,ifyouareworriedaboutsomeonelookingoveryourshoulderwhileyouunlockyourphone,wouldyoubewisertouseaPINorapattern?

Accordingtothisresearchatleast,theanswertothatquestionisprettyclear.
