Access passcode locked iPhone with broken screen without jailbreaking

Question

My iPhone screen broke but I know my passcode.

Is there anyway I can enter my passcode from my Mac? If yes, what app/software?

I already deleted my backup (iCloud) due to space, so I need to back it up before I wipe it. Can someone guide me through the process or a share a viable link? Apple Support Communities is too ambiguous for me.
This image seems relevant:

My screen is not functioning. I've tried iExplorer/iBrowser, all to no avail. I need an app/software to control my iPhone from my Mac.

I've voted to reopen this, as I think the question is clear enough - though I still think the answer will be "you're right out of luck" — Tetsujin, May 18 '17 at 13:53
@Tetsujin See the answer given here and the linked duplicate, there are ways! — grg, May 18 '17 at 18:08
@grgarside - Thanks George, I wasn't actually sure there was a solution.... but I'll stick with my comprehensive backup strategy until such time as it remains the only solution ;) — Tetsujin, May 18 '17 at 18:12

Solution 1: USB keyboard

If you had connected a bluetooth keyboard to your iPhone before you can use it to enter your iPhone's passcode.
