Encrypt SD card

Prevent another user from accessing information stored on your SD card by protecting the information using a password. When enabled, your phone will ask for a password each time you use the phone. Using this option you can also change your SD card PIN number.

Important! Password screen lock protection represents the highest level of security; therefore, you must setup a screen lock password in order to use SD card encryption. For more information, see Screen Lock.

Make Passwords Visible

When enabled, this feature allows you to view the text being entered into a password field as you type it. Many times, other applications insert an asterisk (*) as you type. This can cause issues and confusion. What if you mis-typed the password or used the wrong case? When enabled, you can see your entry. This feature is enabled by default.

To disable visible passwords:

1.Press and tap > Settings > Security.

2.Tap Make passwords visible (to remove the checkmark on the option).

Device Administrators

Activating this feature allows Google to administrate your phone in a way similar to IT security settings on a corporate PC. This would be beneficial in the case that your phone was lost or stolen. The phone could be “deactivated” or “restricted” (through administration) from a remote location.
