Set screen lock
Screen lock options
When you set a screen lock, each time you turn on your phone or wake the screen , you'll be asked to unlock your
phone.
No lock:
• None : this gives no protection, but you can quickly access your Home screen.
•
Swipe : swipe up. This prevents accidental dialling but doesn't secure the phone.
Lock:
• Pattern : Draw a pattern on a grid.
• PIN : enter a four to sixteen digit numeric code. Longer PINs are more secure.
• Password : enter four to sixteen letters, digits or symbols for the password. A long, strong password is the
most secure option.
When you're using any of the 3 locks, you can also unlock with your fingerprint sensor and set your phone to
automatically unlock in certain conditions.

Quickly tighten lock screen security
Unlocking with the fingerprint sensor and setting up automatic unlocking make it easier to keep your phone secure
and minimise when you need to enter your PIN, pattern or password. But sometimes you need to trade
convenience for more security. You can temporarily tighten locks and prevent lock screen notifications.
