Do you wipe the input interface (e.g. phone screen, computer keyboard, payment terminals pin pad) after you type in the pin/password? (In order to hide any fingerprints/residue on the keys)

I mean like, after I type a password on a computer, I'd rub my fingers across the entire keyboard to make sure any fingerprints/oil-residues gets evenly distributed so its harder to know the password. Same with phone unlock codes, I just use my fingers to rub against the part of the screen where the virtual keyboard was displayed.

Am I being weird? I've had this habit since the first time I got my first digital electronics.

    • Lol, FBI could just bypass the lockscreen, this is more like defence against fraudsters and thieves (including identity thieves).

      • I was just joking that OP (you) are trying to hide something, that I would hint the FBI to catch you.

        • It has been my anecdotal experience that people who are overly concerned about their privacy usually have next to nothing to hide. But the people who let their freak flag fly right there on main, those fuckers are trying to pull a Kansas City Shuffle.
