Secure your smart phone from spying eyes by using this app.
A version of TimePIN is already available on iOS devices – called Timepasscode – but requires users to jailbreak their iPhones before using the app.
TimePIN is a new Android app that aims to improve the security of your Android device by changing its lockscreen PIN code every minute. The user will not even have to remember the code, as TimePIN simply assigns the current time as the PIN number. As long as other users don’t know the smartphone is protected by TimePIN, this security measure will almost certainly block any attempts of accessing the content on the device.
However, even if a person with malicious intent is aware that the device is protected by TimePIN, accessing its contents isn’t necessarily easy, as there are more features in place to make it difficult for the attacker to guess the code.
Reverse mode will reverse the PIN (11:24 becomes 4211) while mirror mode mirrors the PIN, transforming the time into an eight-character code rather than a four-character one (8:34 becomes 08344380). A double PIN would look like 12341234 when the time is 12:34, and users can also choose an offset for the code – with offset set at “-121″ the PIN corresponding to the 10:43 time becomes 0922.
