Protecting your phone with a screen lock, pin, pattern, or
Fingerprint
You can protect your phone by creating a screen lock. When enabled, you
can swipe the screen, draw a pattern, enter a numeric PIN or password, or
use fingerprint to unlock the phone.
1. From the home screen, swipe up on the home screen > Settings > Security
& location > Screen lock.
2. Tap Screen lock.
3. Tap Swipe, Pattern, PIN, Password, or Fingerprint.
• Tap None to disable screen lock.
• Tap Swipe to enable screen lock.
• Tap Pattern to create a pattern you must draw to unlock the screen.
• Tap PIN or Password to set a numeric PIN or a password that you must
enter to unlock your screen.
• Tap Fingerprint to add the fingerprint as additional screen lock.
Protecting your phone with encryption
You can encrypt all of the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application
data, music and other media, downloaded information, and for example. If
you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you power on
your phone.
Warning: Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted
phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all of your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen and
may be required or recommended by your organization.
