Device Encryption - LG K500Y User Manual

Device encryption

Encrypting your device
By default, data is encrypted before saving on the device to protect
the data. It is possible to read, write and copy data even when device
encryption is set. You can set the device with the lock settings so that it
displays a user identification prompt when it is turned on.
Precautions for device encryption
You can use the mobile phone lock on the lock screen to increase your
device's protection level.
• If the mobile phone lock is turned on and an incorrect password
is entered more than a specified number of times, the device will
automatically initialise.
• If you forget your decryption password, initialise the device. Initialisation
will delete all data saved before initialisation.
• Encryption takes place when the device boots for the first time after a
factory reset. Stopping encryption before it is complete may damage
data.
