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.

    I use my phone or something else I am holding to press the buttons so my fingers never actually come into contact with the surface; or use tap to pay which also bypasses the PIN entry on most POS systems. I also use my feet to open doors that are push to open. Thank COVID for this quirk; It has nothing to do with worrying about security lol
