Screen lock
There are several screen lock options available. The security level of each lock type is
listed below in order of weakest to strongest:
•
Swipe: no protection, but you have quick access to the Home screen.
•
Pattern: draw a simple pattern with your finger to unlock your device.
•
PIN: enter a numeric PIN of at least four digits to unlock your device.
•
Password: enter an alpha-numeric password to unlock your device.
It is very important that you remember your screen lock pattern, PIN or password. If
you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as
contacts and messages. If you have set up a Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®
(EAS) account on your Xperia™ device, the EAS security settings may limit the lock
screen type to only a PIN or password. This occurs when your network administrator
specifies a lock screen type for all EAS accounts for enterprise security reasons.
Contact the network administrator of your company or organisation to check what
network security policies are implemented for mobile devices.
For more settings for each screen lock type tap ID: ICN-SONY-MENU-SETTINGS beside Screen lock
[unlock_set_unlock_launch_picker_title] .
