Face Unlock, PIN, Pattern, Slide, Password or none of the above?
Right now, I am using the Pattern.
On my Optimus, I used an app to keep it unlocked at all times.
Which one do you use and, if you want to tell us, why?

I used face unlock for a a day or so its cool and more responsive than id expected and if u dont get a good view of ur face it goes to the pattern unlock. i stopped using it because i just wanna pick my phone up and use it and i know no one else except my lady is going to try and use it and that would be rare cuz shes not a phone nerd like me she uses an old lg resistive touch feature phone. i may give her my Gnex if i decide to go with the GS3

I've been using face unlock for a week and I really like it. It's usually just as fast as slide unlock and when it doesn't work I can just enter a PIN to unlock. I don't like locking my phone but I have to for work.
I never really liked pattern unlock

Password. But only because it's enforced by Lotus Traveler on my phone (work email) Prior to installing Traveler I used nothing.

Slide, because my phone never leaves my side. If I ever go somewhere that I might put it down for even a minute, I put it on pattern unlock.

I use a pin. One thing I noticed with pattern is when you look at the phone at an angle you can usually see the pattern. Especially on a recently cleaned screen. Would use slide but my luck that's when I'd lose it.

I'm using face unlock and I am surprised at how good it is. It usually recognizes me and when it doesn't, I never feel like it took too long before it gave up and asked for my pin. The "improve face unlock" photos are a great feature too.

Photo's will unlock the face unlock. Just saying.

pattern. IMO best balance of ease, speed, security, and convenience.
