@finlaydag33k Supremely annoying. But it's a real concern. I've seen this kind of scam up close and it can be scary and imminently dangerous. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. I don't like my device getting more cumbersome to use. I'm a power user and should be able to do what I want. On the other hand, this seems kind of reasonable given how these scams work and how devastating they can be. And let's be honest with ourselves... most users are not sophisticated, to put it mildly.
