The passcode and the pin is not the same thing, most people don't have a passcode.

Re: "The passcode and the pin is not the same thing, most people don't have a passcode."

On iOS I believe this is incorrect, the Passcode is another name for PIN on the iPhone.

You can have complex or simple passcodes, but everybody I've ever seen who bothers to have a passcode (myself excepted), sets it to a 4 digit code (aka PIN). To make it worse, it's usually their ATM PIN.
