The available options may vary depending on the screen lock method selected.

• Info and app shortcuts: Change settings for the items displayed on the locked screen.
• Notifications on lock screen: Set whether or not to show notification content on the
locked screen and select which notifications to display.
• Find My Mobile: Activate or deactivate the Find My Mobile feature. Access the Find my
mobile website (findmymobile.samsung.com) to track and control your lost or stolen
device.
• Unknown sources: Set the device to allow the installation of apps from unknown
sources.
• Encrypt device: Your device's data is encrypted to prevent others from accessing them if
the device is lost or stolen. To use your encrypted device, you must decrypt the device's
data every time you turn on the device. You can set whether your device's data will be
decrypted automatically or whether an unlock code is required. It is not possible to back
up or restore data when it is encrypted. If you enter the unlock code incorrectly several
times in a row and reach the attempt limit, your device will perform a factory data reset.
• Encrypt SD card: Set the device to encrypt files on a memory card.
If you reset your device to the factory defaults with this setting enabled, the device
will not be able to read your encrypted files. Disable this setting before resetting the
device.
• Other security settings: Configure additional security settings.
