Screen Lock and Passcodes


The most critical security setting is securing your Android phone with a passcode to prevent unauthorized access. Options typically include a 4 to 6-digit code, a custom numeric code, an alphanumeric code, or a pattern. Some Android phones also offer face recognition or fingerprint recognition. You can usually find these options under Settings > Lock Screen and Security.

​​​​​​​Some Androids have additional settings, such as controlling the visibility of notifications or shortcuts when your phone is locked. You can adjust these settings under Settings > Lock Screen and Security
