Creating a strong password
A strong password helps prevent someone else from accessing your information. Weak passwords, such as 1234, might be
easy to remember but they're easier to guess as well.
To create a strong password, avoid using a password with the following characteristics (in order of importance):
Avoid Example
Common passwords password
Words from a dictionary quarter
Combining words from a dictionary SimpleGraph
Names or addresses Cecilia
Adding numbers at the end of a word password145
The key is to create a strong password that you can remember easily. Consider the following tips:
Do Example
Use as many characters as you can remember –
Combine words from dierent languages field of Kühe
Instead of: field of cows
Mix character sets größere3 stre4gth
Use the first letter from each word in a sentence Tqbfjotld
Instead of: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Combine misspelled words SimzleGarph
Instead of: SimpleGraph
Set up the fingerprint scanner
The fingerprint scanner provides a fast, convenient way to unlock your device, make purchases, or sign in to apps. When
you set up the fingerprint scanner, you must also create a PIN, pattern, or password for times when your fingerprint can't
be used.
CAUTION:
You can't use your fingerprint to unlock your device when it restarts. Be sure to remember your PIN, pattern, or
password.
To see where your device's fingerprint scanner is located, check out Your device at a glance.
1. Swipe down from the top of the screen once using two
fingers, or twice using one finger.
