The greeter specification and System Settings specification both use the
string "PIN code". That is not "PIN" as shown in the screenshot, but nor
is it "passcode" as referred to in the supposed "Desired resolution".

Olga asked me to change "passcode" to "PIN code" in the System Settings
design, on the grounds that "passcode" was too similar to "passphrase".

Now, that wouldn't necessarily solve the problem: we might be avoiding
confusion with passphrases merely by introducing confusion with SIM
PINs. Antti provides compelling evidence that "PIN" is strongly
associated with SIM PIN. But if that's true, how is it possible (as Tony
points out, and I've verified) that Android uses "PIN" for the non-SIM
security method? Are Android users often confused about this? Or is it
just that the SIM PIN and device PIN prompts have confusingly similar
appearance on Ubuntu? (I can't check that because Ubuntu won't yet let
me turn on the SIM PIN.)

In any case, this is not resolved design-wise: I'm clearing the "Desired
resolution" because it does not match either of the specifications.

** Changed in: ubuntu-ux
       Status: Fix Committed => Confirmed

** Description changed:

  See http://i.imgur.com/JORXscB.png i guess it should say "Enter your
  passcode" or something, PIN is something that i totally associate with
  SIM PIN in the phone context
- 
- -------------------------
- Desired resolution:
- 
- - Change the references to PIN by itself to Passcode in all relevant places
- - "SIM PIN" should remain as SIM PIN
