Once you set a pattern you can have it email your passcode if you forget it.

Oddly it was acting strange and saying the email was invalid.

Anyway…it somehow decided to let me get past that.

Next, it asks to disable your main system unlock so you’re not doing it twice…

This is generally how it looks…if you do it wrong I think 3 times it’ll ask to retry after 30 seconds.Screen Shot 2015-02-12 at 08.25.06

Nice update. The only thing I’d like is options to have the screen not ask me every time…say 1 minute, 5 minute, 30 minute options.
