Doesn't this depend on how worried you are about brute force and shoulder surfing? I am pretty sure in 99.9% of the time that someone is trying to access my phone for nefarious purposes is going to be someone who stole my phone when I left it somewhere. I have no reason to worry about an advanced attacker.

In this case, why would I make the trade off of convenience for security? I have to do 3 times the work to try to defend against an insanely rare attack.
