Whether you have an iPhone, Blackberry, Android, or any other internet connected phone,
your device is just a miniature computer. And exactly as you protect your vehicle with locks,
you should also always “lock” your smartphone by setting up a password. At first, it may feel inconvenient to constantly enter your PIN before accessing your phone applications; however, your phone contains enough personal information to seriously compromise your identity in the event your phone is lost or stolen. Without a security PIN or password, your emails, your saved passwords and your network access is easily accessed by anyone who finds your phone. In fact, many scammers buy stolen phones because it is so easy to request a password reset on your web email or even on your bank account. Consider the financial impact and hassle that would create for you, your company, or even worse, your customers! Put a password on your smartphone and use it consistently to protect your information.
