To keep your phone secure, use a screen lock when it goes to sleep:

• Set up a pattern, PIN, or password to unlock your phone.
• Add a Smart Lock to unlock automatically when connected to a trusted device, when you're at a trusted place (like home or work), with facial recognition, or until you set your phone down.
• You can access notifications and quick settings, start a call, and open the camera from the lock screen.
• You can make emergency calls on a locked phone. A locked phone still rings; you don't need to unlock it to answer.
• If you forgot your pattern, PIN, or password, follow these steps.

You can customize the lock screen by adding your contact info. You can also control which notifications appear on your lock screen.

Quickly and easily verify your identity using the fingerprint sensor on your phone, instead of entering a password, PIN, or pattern to unlock the phone, make online and in-store purchases, and sign into banking and financial apps.

You can add and remove fingerprints.

Fingerprints:

• Are created from features of your fingertip, converted to a mathematical representation, and then encrypted and stored only on the phone. No fingerprint images are ever stored.
• Are never shared with Google or Motorola.
• Are never shared with other apps. Your phone only shares the verification, not the fingerprint.

• Protect your phone in case it’s lost or stolen. Use Find My Device.
• Connect to a virtual private network if you need to access files on a secure network.
• Add a SIM lock to prevent others from using your cellular plan and accessing account information if your phone is stolen.
• Prevent viruses and other attacks on your data and privacy with Google Play Protect.
