Enable App Lock
App lock allows you to set a password for your important apps. Once you restart your Phone or
unlock the screen, you will be asked to enter your App lock password when opening the apps for the
first time. App lock enhances the protection of your private information and prevents unauthorized
access to important apps on your device.
Enable App lock: Open
Settings. Go to Security & privacy > App lock. When you access the
app for the first time, follow the onscreen instructions to set the password and enter the app lock. In
subsequent access, you can directly enter the app lock password. On the App lock screen, enable App
lock for the apps you want to protect. When accessing a locked app for the first time, you need to
enter the password in the password text box. If you forget the password, touch Forgot password,
enter the answer in the password protection question box, and reset the password. If you have not
set the password protection, the Forgot password option is not available.
If you have set up a fingerprint and facial recognition to unlock your Phone and are opening App
lock for the first time, you can follow the onscreen instructions to associate your fingerprint and
facial recognition with App lock for easier app unlocking.
Modify your App lock password and password protection: Touch
on the App lock screen,
and then touch Change password or Change password protection to modify your App lock
password or password protection.
If you enter a wrong password five times in a row while logging in to App lock, your Phone will
be locked for one minute. You can try again in one minute. If you enter a wrong password
another three times in a row, you will need to wait 10 minutes.
Enhanced Data Protection: Defend Your Privacy
Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in
a microSD card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to
decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability
of the hardware. This works together with your lock screen password to protect your private data.
When you use microSD files, or other features to encrypt photos, personal information, or other
personal data, the only way your data can possibly be decrypted is if the trusted root key, lock screen
password, and security chip are simultaneously cracked.Not all devices support microSD cards.
