While most people use Face ID or Touch ID to unlock their modern iPhones and iPads, there are still times when you’ll be required to enter a passcode. Examples include rebooting the device, pressing and holding certain buttons on the device, a failed biometric authentication attempt, and no biometric setup on your device.
If your ears perk up when we mention that the password entry interface on your jailbroken phone has gotten more interesting, then stay tuned in today’s roundup in which we’ll discuss what we think is one of the best jailbreak tweaks to improve. password entry interface on jailbroken iOS and iPadOS 14 devices.
Some of the best password jailbreak settings for iOS 14
PinAnim – FREE
For those who like a little flashy goodness when using their device, and by that we mean smooth animations, PinAnim is a great new jailbreak tweak that provides a nice animation when entering numbers through the passcode interface.
When you use PinAnim, the passcode dots on the lock screen will jump when you enter numbers with the passcode keys. This is a small but aesthetically pleasing animation that will cheer you up any day of the week.

NoPassAfterRespring (secure) – FREE
It’s a little annoying that we always have to enter a passcode after respringing our iPhone or iPad, especially since it’s a requirement after doing most jailbreak tweaks.
Luckily, the NoPassAfterRespring (Safe) jailbreak setting can prevent your device from asking you for a password after respring, which can help you get back on your device faster.

Checkl0ck – $2.99
Checkl0ck is arguably one of my favorite jailbreak tweaks as an iPhone X user with the checkra1n jailbreak, and that’s because it enables built-in passcode and Face ID authentication capabilities when the phone is jailbroken.
With it, you may feel a bit more secure with your belongings as you can store your data behind some kind of barrier. This is despite the fact that the iPhone X usually doesn’t have any security mechanisms on iOS 14 due to software issues that the checkra1n team can’t get around yet.

Smart Pass 4 – $2.99.
If you’re one of those lazy people who think they don’t have to enter their passcode in certain situations, like when you’re at home and there’s no risk of someone trying to hack your iPhone, then I’m right there with you. But you really might want to look into the jailbreak tweak called IntelligentPass 4.
With this setting, your device can intelligently turn off the passcode system under certain circumstances, such as when you are connected to a certain Wi-Fi network, at certain times of the day, and in a variety of other conditions that can help your device identify when there is no risk of being intercepted by prying eyes.

If you’re after some new aesthetic, then you can take refuge in the Hive Reborn jailbreak tweak, which completely redesigns the lock screen passcode entry interface with something unique and hive-like.
After installing this tweak, you will have a beehive-style password entry interface where you click on individual beehive-shaped hexagonal buttons to enter your password. Also, unlocking your device looks exactly the same.

I told you – FREE
Think someone in your family might be trying to guess your password when you’re not looking? If so, then a free jailbreak called ToldYou might be a good way to get them to stop.
This simple jailbreak tweak works on their psyche by displaying a message to let them know you’re involved every time they enter your passcode incorrectly. When they see this message, they will likely put your phone down faster than a hot potato and have no other hands to throw it at.

RomanPad – FREE
For those who feel fancier than the rest of us, RomanPad is a free jailbreak tweak that simply replaces the numbers on the password entry keys on the lock screen with Roman numerals.
This setting is purely aesthetic and does not affect the actual entry of the passcode.
You can learn more about RomanPad in our full review.
WinPass – $1.49
If you’re feeling nostalgic about the Windows XP user interface, you can use the WinPass jailbreak tweak to get a Windows XP-style passcode entry interface on a jailbroken iOS 14 device.
What’s great about this setup is that it’s sure to confuse the passer-by, as it definitely doesn’t look like iOS.
