Before enabling encryption, do the following:
On the Home screen, tap
> Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
Lock your main screen
You can set a main screen lock to protect your YotaPhone.
None means no lock.
Slide provides minimal protection.
Face Unlock allows you to look at your phone to unlock it, but it is less secure than a
pattern, PIN or password.
Pattern lets you draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your YotaPhone.
PIN requires four or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be more secure.
Password requires four or more letters or numbers.
Lock your SIM card
The PIN code helps to protect your SIM card against unauthorised use. You can set your
phone to ask for the PIN code when you switch it on. If not supplied with your SIM card
or you forget the code, contact your service provider. If you type in the PIN code
incorrectly three times in succession, you need to unblock the code with the PUK or PUK2
code. If you do not have them, contact your service provider.
Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone
is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Plug in your charger and charge your phone because it may take more than an hour
to encrypt your data.
You must not interrupt the encryption process or you will lose some or all
of your data.
1. On the Home screen, tap
> Settings > Security > Screen lock.
2. Then choose one of the methods listed below.
When you set a password to lock your screen, keep your password in a safe
place separate from your YotaPhone. If you forget your password and cannot
unlock your YotaPhone because you have entered a wrong password too many
times. You may need to get your Yotaphone serviced and possibly pay
additional charges to unlock your YotaPhone. All the personal data in your
YotaPhone may be deleted.
1. On the Home screen, tap
> Settings > Security > Set up SIM card lock.
2. Tick Lock SIM card and then enter the PIN code.
