For PIN codes, would randomizing the placement of the keys on the virtual 10-key keyboard mitigate this?

Yes, and it’d help with simple finger oil on screen analysis, but it’d make for a frustrating ux.

LineageOS has this as an option.
It's actually not so bad UX-wise.

So does using an alphanumeric passcode instead. Especially if you include capital letters and punctuation that you can access with a swipe starting at the shift or number key (so you never actually tap the key that produces the input).

ICBC does this on the full keyboard, but they randomize everytime you switch from symbols <-> normal keyboard. Makes for a frustrating UX.
