About security
Screen lock options
To keep your phone secure, use a screen lock when it goes to sleep:
•
Set up a pattern, PIN, or password to unlock your phone.
•
Set up facial recognition if you want to unlock with your face.
•
Keep your phone unlocked when you're at a trusted place like home or work, when you're connected to
a trusted device like your car audio system, or until you set your phone down.
When your phone is locked, you can:
•
Access notifications and quick settings, start a call, and open the camera from the lock screen.
•
Make emergency calls on a locked phone. A locked phone still rings; you don't need to unlock it to
answer.
If you forgot your pattern, PIN, or password, follow these steps.
You can customize the lock screen by adding your contact info. You can also control which notifications
appear on your lock screen.
Fingerprint sensor
Quickly and easily verify your identity using the fingerprint sensor on your phone, instead of entering a
password, PIN, or pattern to unlock the phone, make online and in-store purchases, and sign into banking
and financial apps.
You can add and remove fingerprints.
Fingerprints:
•
Are created from features of your fingertip, converted to a mathematical representation, and then
encrypted and stored only on the phone. No fingerprint images are ever stored.
•
Are never shared with Google or Motorola.
•
Are never shared with other apps. Your phone only shares the verification, not the fingerprint.
Note: A fingerprint screen lock may be less secure than a strong pattern or PIN lock. It is possible to
unlock the phone using a physical copy of a matching fingerprint.

your phone is stolen.
