"Significantly less if you leave finger smudges on the keys ..."

Those that I have seen have this plastic covering that allows some tactical feedback (a small pop under the finger.) And people are lazy and don't change codes. So the plastic wears and even comes off, leaving the silicone exposed on the numbers that are used. Well beyond smudges, and much shorter than this 20 minute code.
