TimePIN changes the device lock code every minute , strengthening the device's security level.

When installed, the application requests administrator rights on the device because it needs to be able to modify the security PIN.

By default, TimePIN uses the current time as the code . That is, if the time is 09:39, the code is 0939, the next minute the code will be 0940, etc.

For added security, however, the application offers additional code formatting methods:

Reverse, where the PIN is reversed by logic 09:39 - 9390
Mirror, where the PIN is set to eight digits as follows: 09:39 - 09399390
Double, where the PIN is repeated creating again an eight-digit code: 0939 - 09390939
Offset, where the user denotes a number which is subtracted from the four-digit code resulting from the conversion of the time. That is, if the offset is -121 and the time 09: 39, then the PIN is 0939 -121 = 0818.

The free version of the app includes normal and reverse modes. To unlock the other three, the cost is $1,99.

If someone forgets the lock method they have set, they can unlock the application with the master PIN which is required by TimePIN, and is also used every time the device restarts.
