Kanye West just accidentally revealed his iPhone passcode and it's so bad
Kanye West met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, and it was a mindblowingly bizarre scene. But perhaps nothing topped the moment when Kanye whipped out his iPhone and we all learned his passcode.
In the middle of an extended filibuster to open the meeting — in which even President Trump was stunned into silence — Kanye took out his iPhone to show President Trump a GIF of a hydrogen-powered plane. But first he entered his passcode in full view of the entire press corps.
Yep, he just entered a whole slew of zeroes.
That's it.
That's all it takes to get into Kanye's phone. And Twitter noticed.
Sidenote to add to all of this: Those of us watching, just saw Kanye enter his phone password.
And it looked really uncomplicated.— Lisa Desjardins (@LisaDNews) October 11, 2018
Kanye West's phone password being 000000 is one of the top 10 things I've heard about in my life.

It's worth noting that some have suggested Kanye was entering a PIN after his Face ID failed but the concept is still the same: it's a dangerously easy to hack passcode that the world now knows.
NFL great and social activist Jim Brown was also in attendance though he didn't get to talk much between Kanye and Trump, but mostly Kanye who left even Trump impressed with his opening soliloquy.

And, as the meeting wound down, everyone's heads spinning, a boisterous Kanye got up and hugged Trump as he heaped more praise upon the president.
