This screen is one of my favorites in iBank: not because it does a million things, or provides a lot of data, but because it does a thankless task without being burdensome. It’s the passcode access screen.
iBank Passcode Entry Screen
Many iBank users feel that password protection of their data is vital, and I agree. The problem is that we also want to get to our data as quickly and conveniently as possible. So I looked at a lot of other password screens on the phone, and it may come as no surprise to hear that I liked the passcode access for the iPhone itself. It is simple and requires just four key presses to dismiss it. So I wanted the same feel, but without the limit on the password’s length. This is how it works:
iBank Passcode Setup Screen
iBank Passcode Verify Screen
You can set up your password with any number of digits, and touch “set” when you are done. Then you confirm your passcode by entering the same digits; there is no “done” or “enter” button.
Afterward, password entry works the same way. When you launch iBank Mobile, you get the access screen. It will just sit there until you enter the correct code, and then away it goes. Of course passcode protection is optional, but for those of us who use it, it should be really easy.
Thanks,
James

I love it! Totally makes me think of a metal lockbox or bank vault. Very appropriate. Thanks for sharing more with us.
Look great and sounds easy to use if the reset of the app is as simple and as intuitive as the images you have posted I can’t wait to use it.
I can’t wait for this to come out….HURRY UP PLEASE!
Looks Great! Are you in closed beta yet?
We’re due for another screen shot! Pretty please?! 🙂
I agree…. We need something.. im getting impatient lol
Yeah, more screen shots please!
Anyway you could eliminate the period (.) from the transaction screen so that the transactions behave like an ATM?
For instance… for a $3.50 transaction, I would simply enter 350
For $345.62, I would simply enter 34562
For 150.00, I would enter 15000
It would save time… you could maybe replace the period key with a “clear” key. Apple has an icon for it. Just a thought.
