Set or change a screen lock

Important: To ensure your automatic and manual backups are encrypted with your screen lock, use a PIN, pattern, or a password.

1. Open your phone’s Settings app.
2. Tap Security.
   If you don’t find “Security,” go to your phone manufacturer’s support site for help.
3. For screen lock options, tap Screen lock (If you’ve already set a lock, you’ll need to enter your PIN, pattern, or password before you can pick a different lock.)
4. Tap the screen lock option you’d like to use. Follow the on-screen instructions.

   Pattern: Draw a simple pattern with your finger.
   PIN: Enter 4 or more numbers. Longer PINs tend to be more secure.
