This is the story of Kanye, his phone and the White House.

Kanye West met with President Trump on October 11, 2018. During a press conference he went to unlock his iPhone X "the old fashioned way."

Instead of the face recognition option that is highly secure,Kanye entered his passcode and the entire world got to see it. And it was a weak one.

Watch this video and you will discover Kanye's passcode is "000000" and Twitter went nuts about it.

Here are a number of Twitter reactions to Kanye's phone at the White House and his passcode:

And many Twitter users pointed out that the iPhone warns you of extremely weak passcodes, like the same number over and over or a common string of numbers:

Cybersecurity writer Graham Clueley also gave his two cents on the passcode Kanye revealed during Kanye's meeting with President Trump.

"In fact, it’s a terrible passcode. Back when most iPhone users’ passcodes were only four digits long, a researcher discovered “0000” was the second most common passcode, coming second only to “1234”. I don’t think adding two more zeroes is likely to have reduced its popularity."

If you're looking for Kanye's response to his iPhone controversy, it looks like you'll have to wait awhile. Kanye deleted his social media accounts (again) at the start of October.
