I did not express an opinion on this. Olga lived 16 years in Germany,
where (apparently) SIM PINs used to be very common. Unfortunately I have
not found statistics on SIM PIN use anywhere, and nobody else has
provided any, despite my question a week ago: How is it possible that
Android uses just "PIN" for its non-SIM security, without causing mass
confusion?

I have, meanwhile, found evidence that the word "passcode" was in
moderate use -- for comparison, about a quarter as often as "passphrase"
-- before iOS existed.
<https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=passphrase%2Cpasscode&year_start=1970&year_end=2008&corpus=15>
So the original reason for the change, avoiding an iOS-specific term,
was perhaps not such a problem after all. And nowadays online banking
often uses passcodes.

Given that, and after brainstorming alternative possible terms (ID code
or number, lock code/number, unlock code/number, access code/number,
entry code...) we're happy to revert to passcode.

Greeter specification updated. <http://goo.gl/FlviDe>
