Use these tips to keep your data out of reach of malicious actors.<\/p>\n<h2 data-fontsize=\"22\" data-lineheight=\"33\">Generic Guidelines<\/h2>\n<p>The instructions below depend on the device, model and OS version. For instance, security settings for some Android devices are under \u201cSecurity\u201d, while in others under a different label, e.g. \u201cSecurity &amp; Privacy\u201d. For Apple devices, there are only some minor differences between iOS versions. We suggest you explore your device to locate the applicable option.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Always use a complex but mnemonic unlock code or pattern to authorize access to your device:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Android<\/strong>: Go to \u201cSettings\u201d &gt; \u201cSecurity\u201d &gt; \u201cLock screen password\u201d and set a complex pattern or strong password that you can actually remember without having to write it down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iOS<\/strong>: Go to \u201cSettings\u201d &gt; \u201cTouch ID &amp; Passcode\u201d, tap on the \u201cTurn Passcode On\u201d option and follow the on-display instructions to set a passcode.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tip<\/strong>: Check and wipe your phone\u2019s screen to clear up telling smudges that could reveal your PIN or pattern.<\/p>\n<h2 data-fontsize=\"22\" data-lineheight=\"33\">Never Keep Unattended<\/h2>\n<p>This is a no brainer, as leaving your phone unattended especially in public places is asking for trouble. Better to keep your device safely out of sight when not in use and ensure that your phone screen locks quickly.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Android<\/strong>: Enable the \u201cScreen Lock\u201d option in \u201cSettings\u201d and set a short delay (e.g. 30s) for the device to sleep and lock.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iOS<\/strong>: The most secure option is to set the \u201cRequire Passcode\u201d to \u201cImmediately\u201d. This requires the passcode to be entered, irrespective of when you last unlocked your phone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 data-fontsize=\"22\" data-lineheight=\"33\">Become the Key<\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8602\" src=\"http:\/\/45.33.92.219\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/android_phone_lock_screen-300x189.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"189\" \/>[mc4wp_form id=&#8221;314&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keep Hackers at Bay: Basic Security Precautions for 3CX App Users An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
