This seems like a very basic feature for #mobileLinux, so I'm sure someone has to know how to do it but I just can't figure it out: is there a way to use #PAM to have the login be a simple set of digits while all other admin access still requires a proper password (a long list of alphanumerics and symbols).
I don't want to type a long password every time I want to unlock the screen of a phone/tablet but I want sudo/doas commands to be reasonably well protected.
