Encryption

online purchases and emails exchanges. Encryption is the process of disguising information into
data that will appear incoherent to an unauthorized recipient.
Encrypt Phone
Data encryption allows you to encrypt all data that is on your phone to enhance security after
you turn it off.

Make Passwords Visible
When enabled, this feature allows you to view the text as it's entered into a password field as

enabled, you can see your entry. This feature is enabled by default.
