If I have a password on my phone, is my computer protected as well?
When I have a password on my phone does it cover for the fact that I have NO PASSWORD on my computer.
Hi @Fellies,
Thanks for reaching out.
Having a password on your phone protects that device, but it doesn't secure your computer.
Each device needs its own level of security, and if you use the same services (Dropbox as an example) on both, it won't stop someone from accessing your data on an unsecured computer.
It's best to use a password on screen lock on both devices to keep everything safe.
I hope this helps.
