Just a little over three years ago, we showed you an interesting new take on the iPhone’s passcode entry interface called Hive. The name spoke volumes about the tweak’s purpose, as it introduced a hexagonal-inspired aesthetic to the passcode entry interface that you’d typically find in a beehive.

You can now use Apple Watch to authorize purchases on your Apple TV
Apple's watchOS 8.5 update brings out a new feature that allows you to complete purchases and subscriptions on your Apple TV from the Apple Watch on your wrist.
Checkl0ck officially released, enables biometric authentication on A11 devices running iOS 14 & jailbroken via checkra1n
Just a couple of days ago, we told you all about a then upcoming jailbreak tweak dubbed Checkl0ck by iOS developer FoxfortMobile intended to enable biometric authentication on A11 chip-equipped handsets that had been jailbroken with checkra1n.
Upcoming checkl0ck jailbreak tweak to enable biometric authentication on A11 handsets pwned on iOS 14 by checkra1n
If you’re using checkra1n to jailbreak an A11-equipped handset with iOS or iPadOS 14, then you can’t have a native passcode or use biometric authentication methods like Face ID or Touch ID.
Lockdown beta restores passcode functionality on checkra1n’d A11 devices while jailbroken
One of the more substantial caveats that plagues jailbreaking an A11 chip-equipped handset running iOS 14 via checkra1n is that you can’t use a passcode. Affected devices include the iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and even the coveted iPhone X. But perhaps not anymore…
Spore: A jailbreak tweak that works overtime to secure apps with passcodes & authentication
Privacy is a valuable thing, and while iPhones can be secured with a passcode or biometric authentication such as Face ID or Touch ID, many still feel like Apple could do more to improve user privacy — especially for when someone manages to get ahold of your passcode or you hand your unlocked device to another person for one reason or another.
iOS 15 lets you securely approve personal Siri requests with your Apple Watch
With iOS 15, you can approve personal Siri requests on your iPhone, such as accessing your contacts, by wearing your Apple Watch without having to use Face/Touch ID or your passcode.
Everything you should know about jailbreaking A11 devices on iOS 14 with checkra1n
Thanks to the checkm8 bootrom exploit that powers it, the checkra1n jailbreak has earned a reputation for its resilience. No mere software update can patch this exploit, and so susceptible devices (those equipped with A7-A11 chips) should effectively be jailbreakable for life...
IntelligentPass 4 intelligently disables your handset’s passcode and authentication in low risk environments
Your iPhone or iPad will be its most secure when protected by a passcode or some form of biometric authentication, be it Face ID or Touch ID.
But most would agree that such methods of security aren’t necessary in every environment at all times — such as when you’re alone in your own home.
This tweak makes it so jailbreakers don’t have to enter their passcode after respringing
It’s important to have a passcode on your iPhone or iPad because it helps keep your information safe by ensuring that only an authenticated user is able to access your apps and personal data. But have you ever found yourself annoyed about the fact that you’re asked to authenticate yourself after respringing your jailbroken handset?
Typically when you’re respringing a device, you’re doing it because you just installed a new jailbreak tweak or because you just applied new settings to an already-installed tweak. In both cases, having to enter your passcode to get back to what you were doing is an extra step that most users would probably prefer to do without.
RomanPad brings Roman numerals to your iPhone’s passcode & dialer keypads
If you’re searching for quirky and unique ways to make your pwned handset stand out from the rest, then a new and free jailbreak tweak dubbed RomanPad by iOS developer Simalary might be able to help.
Just as the tweak’s name implies, RomanPad replaces the traditional numbers on the buttons on the passcode and phone dialer interfaces with Roman numerals.
Got a checkra1n’d iPhone X with iOS 14 without a passcode? This tweak is for you
If you’re using a Face ID-enabled handset without a passcode, which might very well be the case if you’re using the checkra1n jailbreak on the iPhone X with iOS 14, then you may notice how interacting with notifications from the Lock Screen takes more effort than it needs to.
More specifically, if you don’t have a passcode, then tapping on a notification banner from the Lock Screen reveals an Open button that must be tapped before you’re brought to the app’s interface to interact with the missed notification.
