authentication, a fingerprint confirmation can be used instead of the
configured PIN code.
Note
The same PIN code is used by App Lock to protect your installed apps.
c. Activate Snap Photo
Each time someone will try to access your installed apps while the
Snap Photo option is turned on, Bitdefender will take a photo of him.
For more details about this feature, refer to “Snap Photo” (p. 279).
d. Set Trusted Number for Anti-Theft
Select the SMS CONTROL tab, type a trusted phone number or select
one from the contacts list, and then tap SAVE NUMBER. The trusted
number should contain a country code and can be the number of
someone you know, or the number of another phone you use.
When a different SIM card is inserted into your device, Bitdefender
Mobile Security automatically sends a text message to the trusted
number containing the new phone number.
This way, you can send SMS commands to your phone even if the SIM
card is switched and its number changes.
Important
This is not a mandatory step, but it is recommended that you set the
trusted number during the initial setup. The Wipe command works only
when sent from the predefined trusted number.
Once Anti-Theft is activated, you can turn on or off Web control and SMS
control features individually from the Anti-Theft screen by tapping the
corresponding buttons.
