Is it possible to setup multiple accepted passwords for the login to Android? Or perhaps an alternative secure login. (Note: facial recognition and fingerprint does not count as secure, but an RSA/NFC key would count.)

Like if I enter MySecretPassword1 it logs in, but it also accepts MyOtherPassword2.

I am looking for a phone (Note 2) solution, not a tablet. I am not looking for a multiple user account solution. My general use case is: I have a relatively simple password that I use day-to-day, but have a more complex password if I think someone is looking over my shoulder.

    Why would you want to do this? There is no real use of having multiple passwords unless you have multiple user accounts (can only be done on tablets).

  • @damryfbfnetsi - because I want to have an easy-to-remember and type password that I can use, but also a complex password that I can use if someone is watching over my shoulder/etc. and have it be hard if not impossible to remember (for them ofc) Aug 13, 2014 at 18:01
  • This is off-topic, but on Windows Phone, AFAIK, you can have both a password and a PIN at the same time.

  • But on Android, I think you need a third-party solution.
