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.
• 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.

Home Screen • 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.

Go to Set lock screen password > Change unlock method > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.

•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.
