You can also have it randomize the order of the numbers in the keypad.

Still inconvenient and still can be easily stolen just by looking over your shoulder.

Blackberry had unlock mechanism that let you unlock phone with a single, quick gesture and was impossible to steal.

You had to swipe the number overlay to put a correct number in a specific place in the image. Quick, easy, secure.
