Setting a screen lock

There are several ways to lock your phone screen. For example, you can use the Face Unlock feature, which uses a picture of your face to unlock the screen. You can also set a screen unlock pattern, a number-based PIN lock, or a text-based password.

To set a screen lock

1From your Home screen, tap > Settings > Security > Screen lock.

2Select an option.

It is very important that you remember your screen unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you forget this information, it may not be possible to restore important data such as contacts and messages. Refer to Sony Customer support for more information.

To set up the Face Unlock protection

1From your Home screen, tap > Settings > Security > Screen lock.

2Tap Face Unlock, then follow the instructions in your phone to capture your face.

3After your face is successfully captured, set up screen lock Pattern or PIN as a backup method to unlock the screen. For more information, refer to 'To create a screen unlock pattern' or 'To create a screen unlock PIN'.

The Face Unlock feature is less secure than a screen lock pattern, PIN, or password. Someone who looks similar to you could unlock your phone.

For best results, capture your face in an indoor area that is well lit but not too bright and hold the phone at eye level.

To unlock the screen using the Face Unlock feature

1Activate the screen.

2Look at your phone from the same angle you used to capture your Face Unlock photo.

If Face Unlock fails to recognise your face, you need to draw the backup pattern or PIN to unlock the screen.
