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 set your phone to automatically unlock in certain
conditions.
