That link worked. Interesting article. I also live in a large metro area
(Phoenix AZ US) and the same stuff happens here.
But you said: "Most people use the same passcode on the lock screen as
for (banking) apps" and I saw nothing in that piece to verify that.
"Most" being over half the phone using population. I still doubt that
assertion but also can't prove otherwise...
