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 > Screen lock &
passwords, 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.

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.
