Device security

Making sure your device is protected

Your device includes security options, strongly recommended in case of loss or theft.

Note

When using a security option to protect your device, it is crucial to remember the details provided at set up.

Screen lock

Set a secure screen lock on your device using a PIN, password, pattern, or fingerprint to prevent others from using your device without permission. Once the screen lock is set, it is not possible to unlock the screen or erase the content via a Erase all data (factory reset) without providing the screen lock information.

Find my device

Use the Find my device service to remotely locate, lock, unlock, or erase the content on a lost device.

SIM card lock

Lock your SIM cards with a PIN to protect your subscription against misuse. The PIN is required every time you restart your device.

IMEI number

Keep a copy of the IMEI number. If your device is stolen, some network providers can use this number to stop the device from accessing the network in your country or region.

Backup

Back up the content on your device in case your device is damaged, lost or stolen.

•To back up with a Google account, see Backing up and synchronizing with a Google account on page 46.

•To back up using a computer, see Backing up and transferring data using a computer on page 47.

•To back up using a memory card, see Backing up and transferring data using a memory card on page 47.

Screen lock

When the screen is locked you have to unlock it with a swipe gesture or with your personal pattern, PIN, password or fingerprint. Initially, the unprotected screen swipe is set, but it is recommended to use a more secure screen lock to protect your device.

The security level of each lock type is listed below in order of weakest to strongest:

•Swipe: no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.

•Pattern: draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your device.

•PIN: enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.

•Password: enter an alpha-numeric password to unlock your device.

2Tap Next and follow the on-screen instructions to complete fingerprint registration.

3You can add, delete, or rename a fingerprint. Edit the options as desired.
