Configure options for securing information on your phone.

Device Administration

Some applications, such as Corporate email, may require you allow access to your phone by device
administrators in certain circumstances, such as if your phone is lost or stolen.
Some features a device administrator might control include:
●
Setting the number of failed password attempts before the device is restored to factory settings.
●
Automatically locking the device.
●
Restoring factory settings on the device.

Encryption

You can encrypt accounts, settings, downloaded apps and their data, media, and other files. After
encryption, you must enter the PIN, password, or fingerprint you set each time you turn on your phone.
You can also encrypt information stored on an optional installed memory card (not included).
Encryption may take an hour or more to complete. Start with a charged battery, and keep the phone on
the charger until encryption is complete. Interrupting the encryption process may result in the loss of
some or all data.
