Mobility Site - View Single Post - WM6 Password will auto-return to today screen at power-on

Just installed WM6.1 and in this release the problem is solved.

It works just as WM5 used to do, except that in WM5 it unlocked immediately after entering the PIN, in WM6 you have to hit "unlock" soft button after entering the PIN - not as convenient since it's smaller than PIN buttons and harder to hit when device is in a leather case. Must've been added to make brutal force attacks more time consuming ? In any case, it's not a biggie and the password utility is now useful, again (and none too soon, either !)

Now, I can set up an encrypted virtual disk using FreeOTFE, have it automatically mount on startup, and rest assured that my data is well protected !
