Set password android phone

I always tell my friends on how good they need to set their phone security. Can you imagine how it would be if someone you don’t desire to see your personal information has access of it? I know the answer is direct you will not feel well at all.

So, if your smartphone has no any security makes it easy for everyone who can access your phone to see your information stored in the phone, which may cause the leakage of your personal information. Assume now you stored credit card number, online store shopping password, photos, etc. 

Most of us think, phone security is the very basic and fundamental option (not concerned at all).  But remember the privacy protection for confidential information is very important and doesn’t relay to specific group or someone. 

If your information leak, you will be the one to pay for it. Remember, some friends have the habit to transfer information found in friend’s phone to their phones through Bluetooth or Wireless and starts posting on social media especially photo without your concern also he/she may share your privacy information to others.

In the world today most people tend to store their sensitive information like their bank card number, office documents, online store password, etc. so that can be accessible anywhere when needed.

Everyone has its own way to protect the phone, among three or four security option such as PIN code; Pattern, Blown PIN password and EYE print protector both are available on android phone but you may find less or more depending on the phone manufacturer. 

One day I found a debate from one of the popular online community about which is the more or less in terms of security among the four options above. I’m sure you have the similar discussion to. So, now it’s very important to choose the one you prefer from the four below.

• Lock Pattern

This security option allows the use of pattern to draw the unique security, which you can remember easily. That requires you to connect at least 3 or 4 dot depending on the phone manufacturer. Hit on the dot with your finger print and start drawing your pattern.

• PIN code

This allows the use of four or more digit numerical code as your password. In this option you can’t use alphabet. It’s only the numerical digits (0-9).

 

The PIN code is similar to the one you going to take money out of the ATM. To my case this option is too risk since anyone can break it (not secure at all) because if your friends know your year of birth or family can easily assume your password.

• Full-password

This allows the use of either four or more digits numerical code, alphabet code or both, is just like signing into Gmail account, Facebook account or any other account around the internet.

I recommend this option because is more secure and difficult for someone to break it out.

• Eyes unlock

Eyes unlock employs biometric identification to safely scan the eye print with smartphone camera. 

This involves two steps which are four digit code and Eye print. The four digit code will be used for verification.

I do recommend this option also because is more secure than the three above, but don’t use eyes unlock if you placed glasses on your screen phone (Not recommended for glasses).

Steps to register for Eye print

• Make sure your in well-lit and stable environment

• Face smartphone directly and place eye within a frame

• Optimal distance between faces and mobile is 30cm.

• When scanning please focus on the progress value displayed on the interface.

• Now it’s important to think carefully about each one above and take care to choose which one is best for you. If you want to access your phone much easily use PIN code as your password otherwise you use eyes unlock or Full-password.

To access these option follow procedure below

• Go to the settings menu on your device

• Scroll down until you find Security & account management, Security or Security and screen lock.

• Under Security & account management tap Screen lock.

• On device security tap screen lock, now if you have been set before the password will ask you to confirm it so that you can get access of other screen lock available in android phone.

Pattern

Press on Pattern, and then draw the pattern of your choice by connecting four dots and release the finger. When you place wrong pattern will ask you to try again.

PIN code

Press on PIN, and then enter at least four digits from 0 to 9. Then touch the tick at the top corner to continue. You will be asked to confirm your PIN enters the similar PIN, if you enter wrong code the message PINS don’t match will be prompted to you. 

Full-password

Press on password, and then enter at least four numerical digits or alphabet or both. Then touch tick at the top corner to continue. Now you will need to confirm the password.

 Eyes unlock 

Press on eyes unlock, and then enter only four digits that will be used for verification. Tap the plus symbol at the bottom and look at the interface of your camera otherwise will not detect your eyes.   

Now, hopeful you have the right option. Prevent your information from being accessed by others. Like the post? please share.
