Thieves are watching people input their PINs into phones and then stealing the phones. They can then gain access to any apps that use the "sign-in with Apple" feature that uses Face ID or PIN to log instead of the app's own login.

I just tried this and neither LastPass nor any of my banks accept PIN. It’s FaceID or the full 3rd party password only.

Is this a real issue? What banks and password managers allow pin? Only Apples built in manager?

I think it's only Apple's built-in password manager that's susceptible to this.
