Phone is lost or accessed by an unauthorized user.
Set a lock screen password: Open
Settings, go to Security & privacy > Lock screen
password, and set the type of lock screen password you prefer.

numbers, letters, and special characters. Be sure to memorize the password so that you don't get
locked out of your Phone if you forget it. Go to Set lock screen password > Change unlock
method > Password, follow the prompts to set up a password.

NFC
Introduction to NFC
Near Field Communication (NFC) is a technology that enables short-distance wireless communication.
Through NFC's contactless communication, two devices can transfer data in real time when they are
within 10 cm (4 inches) of each other. In addition to data transfer, NFC also allows you to make
payments.

NFC can be used in multiple scenarios with different requirements and methods.
Point-to-point mode: Transfers data between two NFC-enabled devices within a short distance. No
pairing is required and a more secure connection is established.
Scenarios
l
Transfer files (such as images, apps, and contacts).
l
Quickly establish a connection between devices (like Bluetooth pairing or hotspot sharing).
Limitations

Card emulation mode: Allows your Phone to act as a smart card so it can access mobile ticketing for
public transport, and mobile payments.
Scenarios
HCE emulation: Allows your Phone to act as a QuickPass-enabled bank card by associating your
device with a physical bank card in a banking app.
Limitations
HCE emulation: For example, UnionPay Cloud QuickPass. First download the app for your bank card
and associate your card with the app. For details, consult your bank's customer service center. Then
enable NFC, set a specific bank app as your default payment app in NFC while keeping the screen on
and unlocked. To make Cloud QuickPass payments, your card and the POS device must support
QuickPass.

Introduction to User Data Protection
Worried that your photos, bank account information, or other private data might get leaked if your
Phone is lost or stolen? Huawei Phones now feature security chips in addition to the combined
protection provided by the trusted root key and lock screen password. Whether your data is stored in
a memory card or internal storage, it will receive the highest level of protection.
Stronger encryption and safeguards: Huawei Phones use a hardware key that cannot be used to
decrypt data when separated from the Phone. Based on the trusted root key, the encrypted
components are incorporated into the memory control chip to enhance the data protection capability
