Not without redesigning a lot of stuff, which is
In the mean time I suggest using a long alphanumeric pin to protect your data.
Hey, I've had a look at the code and at least currently, it seems very little is needed to disable the forced creation of PINs. Have a look at #10 :-) For me, this worked in the following scenario: Have device A with Signal without PIN setup and moved to device B importing the backup of device A. Probably it will also work for new registrations.
If you want to avoid the dialog box nagging and blocking access to your inbox, just leave an SMS message unread. (Doesn't work anymore if you swap SIM cards.)
Sadly the Signal folks are very stubborn about the mandatory online storage. Also on this fork yet we have to create a PIN and as such expose private data unsecurely to the signal servers. Do you think it is possible and feasible to remove this on first launch?
