Screen Lock and Unlock
Set a Lock Screen Password to Protect Your Privacy
Your Phone stores a lot of sensitive information, such as personal photos, contact information,
banking apps (for example, Alipay). Set a lock screen password so that a password is required each
time you unlock your Phone. A lock screen password helps to protect your private information if your
Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorised user.
Set a lock screen password: Open Settings, go to Security & privacy > Lock screen
password, and set the type of lock screen password you prefer.
l Set a PIN: A PIN number is a sequence of digits. Entering a PIN to unlock your Phone is quick and
simple. For better security, use a long sequence of random numbers as your PIN. Go to Set lock
screen password, follow the prompts to set up a PIN. Alternatively, touch Change unlock
method, and set 4-digit PIN or Custom PIN.
l Set a pattern: Unlock your Phone by drawing a preset pattern on the screen. For better security,
use a pattern that includes overlapping line segments. Go to Set lock screen password > Change
unlock method > Pattern and draw the same pattern twice. The pattern must connect at least 4
dots.
l Set a password: A password made up of numbers, letters, and special characters is more secure
than a PIN or pattern. For better security, use a password with 8 or more characters that includes
numbers, letters, and special characters. Be sure to memorize the password so that you don't get
locked out of your Phone if you forget it. Go to Set lock screen password > Change unlock
method > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.

the screen will automatically light up when the band comes within 80 cm of your device. Swiping

device. After setting a lock screen password, touch Add in the dialog box that pops up and
follow the onscreen prompts to enrol your ngerprints.
l For security reasons, please do not disable the lock screen password: A lock screen
password prevents unauthorised access to your device. For the security of your device, do not
select Disable lock screen password as the screen lock method.
l Regular password prompts help you to remember your password: If you have not
entered your screen lock password for 3 days, the system will require that you enter the
password to unlock your device.
Lock the Screen to Quickly Secure Your Phone
If you don't use your Phone for a set period of time, the screen will turn off and lock. As long as the

NFC
Introduction to NFC
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables short-distance wireless communication.
Through NFC's contactless communication, two devices can transfer data in real time when they are
within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other. In addition to data transfer, NFC also allows you to share apps,
top up transport cards, check balances, and make payments.
NFC can be used in multiple scenarios with different requirements and methods.
Point-to-point mode: Transfers data between two NFC-enabled devices within a short distance. No
pairing is required and a more secure connection is established.
l
Both devices need to support NFC.
l During data transmission, devices must be within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other.
l Screen must be on and unlocked when using NFC.

Device Connection
Scenarios
l Transfer les (such as images, apps, and contacts).
l Quickly establish a connection between devices (like Bluetooth pairing or hotspot sharing).
Read/Write mode: Supports reading and writing NFC tags.
l Cards and products must support reading and writing NFC tags
l Read and write/P2P must be enabled on the NFC settings screen if available. This feature may
vary depending on your network provider.
Scenarios
l Use top-up apps to top up both physical and emulated transport cards, as well as to check balances.
l Check product information with NFC tags.
Card emulation mode: Allows your device to act as a smart card so it can access mobile ticketing for
public transport, mobile payments, and door entry.
l SIM card emulation: First contact your mobile network provider to obtain a SIM card that
supports NFC.
l eSE emulation:
l Huawei Pay-enabled bank cards: To make QuickPass payments on a QuickPass-enabled
POS device, add a bank card to Huawei Pay that supports QuickPass.
l Huawei Pay-supported transport cards: A virtual transport card must be added to
Huawei Pay.
l HCE emulation: For example, UnionPay Cloud QuickPass. First download the app for your
bank card and associate your card with the app. For details, consult your bank's customer
service centre. Then enable NFC, set a
specic bank app as your default payment app in NFC
while keeping the screen on and unlocked. To make Cloud QuickPass payments, your card and
the POS device must support QuickPass.
Scenarios
l SIM card emulation: Allows the SIM card provided by your network provider to act as a transport
card.
l eSE emulation: Allows NFC's embedded security element to facilitate payments (such as in Huawei
Pay).
l HCE emulation: Allows your device to act as a QuickPass-enabled bank card by associating your
device with a physical bank card in a banking app.
Use NFC to Share Data Quickly
NFC lets you share data across two devices quickly without the hassle of pairing. Simply place the NFC
detection areas of both your devices in close proximity to each other, and then you can transfer les

Enhanced Data Protection: Defend Your Privacy
Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in
a memory card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to
decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability
of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your private data.

When you use PrivateSpace, Multi-user, encrypted memory les, or other features to encrypt photos,

devices support memory cards.
