Eh, I never stopped using a password for this exact reason.
I think this solution is way too impractical for most people, who tend to unlock their phone many times a day.
Yeah, that's the cost of good security practices. You always sacrifice convenience.
I wish I could have a fingerprint and a pin with a limited number of attempts. Plus a password after like three failed pin attempts. I think that would be a pretty good balance between security and convenience.
