That's a good idea. I'll change that in the patch.

My intent was that it will only ever get called once in contrast to
DisplayPasskey which can be called multiple times - and that's one
good reason the UI would want different methods here, if it gets
DisplayPinCode it knows it's never getting typing notification.

I'll adjust the docs, I think that's a Copy & Paste error.

I looked into the Apple hack, but it's so randomly specific and evil,
I decided to ignore it.
