Screen Lock

You can increase the security of your phone by creating a screen lock. When enabled, you have to draw
the correct unlock pattern on the screen, enter the correct PIN, enter the correct password, or scan your
fingerprint to unlock the phone's control keys, buttons, and touchscreen.
In order from least secure to most secure, the available screen lock options are:
●
