In this quick video I just thought I would show you an another security feature
that some people really don't know that is present in mobile phones. So we will jump right into
this and see you on the other side
Okay, I know a lot of people have one of these set on your phone and
it's a pass code. I have just changed this for the simplicity of this video
incase anyone knows my pass code. What people really don't understand
is that these can be hacked and they can be wiped and especially if someone is
standing over
your shoulder and they see you going on your phone on a night out
typing in your pin code. The next thing then you set your phone down, someone takes it.
Next thing they are in through your stuff and what ever else. The only thing is
if they end up turning the phone off what you are better off doing
is having it set so you have got
a sim card pin. Now mines is simply the Nexus 5, so
you just go into your settings, mines is under security.
Then you go in and select setup sim card lock.
Obviously you can change your pin to whatever you want.
The first time you do it, it will ask you for a pin code
mines is 5 digits, put it in then confirm it
and away you go again. Basically then when you have
your phone turned off and you turn it on. It will ask you for
your sim card pin, You put your sim card pin in then
your pass code. So that then means that for instance if anybody
decides to come along and takes out your sim card and puts it into another phone
they can't practically use that in another phone. So it is always good to
have a SIM card pin
set up as well as pass code.
It is just adds that extra bit of security. I know there is apps out there
that from wipe your phone and track it's location so
it's always good to have a SIM card pin
set up as well such as a pass code as a bit of extra security.
It sort of detures people from stealing them basically.
It is always a handy tip to have, just to let you know.
Anyways, until the next time. Thanks for watching!
