Security and you!

Apple regularly releases security updates for iOS users.  As an apple customer you have access to many different types of security on your devices.  From pass codes to touch ID and face ID there are a multitude of  ways to stay safe and prevent security risks.  Below are some fo these examples explained and how they work.

Pass code

 It is recommended that all users have at least a pass code on their device.  When you purchase an iOS device you will be asked to input simple pass code that you will need to remember to unlock your phone and access the interface in the future.




Finger Print

 With iOS you have the option to unlock your device using a finger print scanner.  This feature is optional as you can choose to enter your pass code instead.  As we can see below you can choose to just use one fingerprint or more.
