How to: Securing iPhone
The iPhone has vulnerabilities. In the past, some have been very serious. Sometimes, Apple takes a very long time to get them fixed.
The security hiccups have done nothing to slow down the sales and usage of the device so it just might be a good idea to go the extra mile to secure the device and reduce your risk if your iPhone gets lost or stolen.
Wired’s how-to wiki offers some valuable instructions on security your iPhone:
- 1 Enable Passcode Protection
- 2 Enable SIM PIN Protection
- 3 Enable Auto-Lock
- 4 Re-map Your Home Button
- 5 Use a Password Storing App
