You can choose among these lock options, listed in approximate
order of strength:
• Slide provides no protection, but lets you get to the Home
screen quickly.
• Face Unlock lets you unlock your tablet by looking at it. This is
the least secure lock option.
TIP: Face Unlock lets you unlock your tablet by looking at
the screen. After you set it up, look under Settings > Per-
sonal > Security for two additional settings: Improve face
matching and Liveness check. Use these to make Face
Unlock more reliable and secure.
• Pattern lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to un-
lock the tablet. This is slightly more secure than Face Unlock.
• PIN requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be
more secure.
• Password requires four or more letters or numbers. This is the
most secure option, as long as you create a strong password.
Password tips: For best security, specify a password that is
• A least 8 characters long.
• Contains a mixture of numbers, letters, and special symbols.
• Doesn’t contain any recognizable words or phrases.
