Lock Screen Password Reminder
The smartphone in your pocket has exponentially more processing power than everything that NASA had for the lunar landing in 1969.
It also contains virtually every private thought and lots of sensitive personal information that you would never want just anyone to see.
For some reason, we don’t think of our smartphones the same way we do our computers, but they’re essentially the same thing when it comes to our personal information.
That’s probably why so many of you out there still haven’t taken a simple step to protect all that valuable information by activating the lock screen.
The most common reason is that you don’t want to be bothered with entering a code every time you want to use your phone, but the alternative is just too scary.
The likelihood of a lost or stolen phone is very real, so take a minute to protect yourself right now.
All the other security built into your phone is useless if you don’t lock the front door!
