Like anyone who cares about security, I've set a passcode lock on my iPhone. However, it's a severe pain in the ass to have to type it in all the time (say, when I'm on a plane reading and want to regularly consult they dictionary (Wordbook)). So, I've set a few-minute delay on the passcode lock such that it doesn't activate immediately.
Here's a use-case and a question: In the above airplane example, what if I need to get up to use the bathroom and want to leave my phone at my seat/in my bag? I'd like in this case, instead of the passcode lock delay, to be able to tell the phone to turn on the passcode lock immediately. How do I do this?
This seems so simple but I can't find a way and it might just not be possible outside of simply changing the lock delay to immediate in Settings (which is another pain in the ass to fiddle with just to get up to use the bathroom... I'd just take my phone with me in this case). And, yes, I do realize that a passcode lock probably want thwart a determined adversary that gets my phone for a few minutes, but still.
