Applock - you forgot the back door!

The pin lock feature is great but it can be bypassed by anyone simply by adding the desktop widget! You need to prompt for pin on adding widget.

Um, but *launching the app* from a widget does prompt for the PIN code.

Can you check?

I just checked -- *creating* widgets is PIN code protected too.

However -- there is a "grace period" (delay) before the app requires a PIN code, after you've exited it.

By default it's 15 seconds, so if you close the app and then start creating your widget immediately after that -- no prompt.

This is in app settings -> Security, or you can do Menu -> Lock access on the app's main screen (account list).
