Brute forcing 4-6 digit pins is trivial.

And even if the user set a actual password, it’s still very trivial

“Very trivial” if they set a proper password? Yet the source you provide says it’s robustly secure

I can’t find the phrase robustly secure in the last link:

Signal asks users to set a pin/password which needs to be periodically reentered. This discourages people from using high entropy passwords like BIP38.
