Set a screen lock
You can set up a screen lock to secure your phone. Each time you turn on your phone or turn on the screen,
you’ll be asked to unlock it.
Set or change screen lock
1. Go to Settings > Security.
2. Touch Screen lock and select the type of lock you want.
Some lock options aren't available if you added a VPN or a work (corporate) email account to your
phone.
Screen lock types
No lock:
•
None: This gives no protection, but you can quickly access your home screen.
•
Swipe: Swipe up. This prevents accidental dialing 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.
Unlock your screen automatically
If you're using a PIN, password, or pattern, you can:
•
Stay unlocked when connected to a device, like your car audio system.
•
Stay unlocked at a specific location.
•
Stay unlocked when holding or carrying your phone.
•
Unlock with your face.
Tips:
•
You can swipe up from anywhere on the screen when unlocking. You don't need to touch the
icon.
•
Some of these options aren't available if you added a VPN or a work (corporate) email account to
your phone.
