Set a Lock Screen Password to Protect Your Privacy

Personal photos, contact information, and banking apps, your Phone stores a lot of sensitive
information. Set a lock screen password so that a password is required each time you unlock your
Phone. A lock screen password helps to protect your private information if your Phone is lost or
accessed by an unauthorized user.

Set a lock screen password: Open

Settings, go to Security & privacy > Screen lock &

passwords, and set the type of lock screen password you prefer.

Set a PIN: A PIN number is a sequence of digits. Entering a PIN to unlock your device is quick and
simple. For better security, use a long sequence of random numbers as your PIN. Go to Password >
PIN, follow the prompts to set up a PIN, then touch OK.

Set a pattern: Unlock your device by drawing a preset pattern on the screen. For better security,
use a pattern that includes overlapping line segments. Go to Password > Pattern and draw the
same pattern twice. The pattern must connect at least 4 dots.

Set a password: A password made up of numbers, letters, and special characters is more secure
than a PIN or pattern. For better security, use a password with 8 or more characters that includes
numbers, letters, and special characters. Please memorize the password so that you don't get
locked out of your device if you forget it. Go to Password > Password, follow the prompts to set
up a password, then touch OK.

Unlock your device using a smart band: If your device supports unlocking with a smart band,
the screen will automatically light up when the band comes within 80 cm of your device. Swiping
on the screen will instantly unlock the device. Touch Smart unlock, and follow the onscreen
prompts to complete the setup.

Unlock your device using a fingerprint: If your device supports fingerprint unlock, this is the
recommended unlock method. Using a fingerprint is a secure and quick way to unlock the
device. After setting a lock screen password, touch Enroll in the dialog box that pops up and
follow the onscreen prompts to enroll your fingerprints.

For security reasons, please do not disable the lock screen password: A lock screen
password prevents unauthorized access to your device. For the security of your device, do not
select None as the screen lock method.

Regular password prompts help you to remember your password: If you have not
entered your screen lock password for 3 days, the system will require that you enter the
password to unlock your device.

Lock the Screen to Quickly Secure Your Phone

If you don't use your Phone for a set period of time, the screen will turn off and lock. As long as the
screen stays on, you can use your Phone without needing to unlock the screen. Lock your screen
when you are not using your Phone to protect your privacy and prevent mistaken inputs.
