Set a good passcode: Your passcode, alongside face or fingerprint unlock, is what encrypts your phone, so it’s good to set one up that isn’t easy to guess (like 1234).But you should take a few more steps to secure your phone. If you’ve followed the other steps in this series, by now you should have enabled two-factor authentication on either your Apple or Google account (or both) and set up a password manager. For more information, see our complete Simple Online Security series. This is just one step in a series created to help anyone improve their online security regardless of their technical knowledge.
