Protecting your phone with a screen lock, pin, or pattern

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, or Password.
• 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.
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.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
• Set a lock screen PIN or password.
