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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Unlock your device using a smart band: If your device supports unlocking with a smart band, the screen will automatically light up when the band comes within 80 cm of your device. Swiping on the screen of your Phone will instantly unlock the device. Touch Smart unlock, and follow the onscreen prompts to complete the setup.
• 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.
•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.
If you don't use your Phone for a set period of time, the screen will turn off and lock. As long as the screen stays on, you can use your Phone without needing to unlock the screen. Lock your screen when you are not using your Phone to protect your privacy and prevent mistaken inputs.
