Do you protect your smartphone with security code(s)

I said "yes", but it is not a security code per say; it's a finger print scanner.

 

I don't need no security code. Who's gonna steal a Windows Mobile 6.5 device?

 

I do - I've always used a security code - even on my non-smartphones.

 

lol, I use the finger print scanner because I can unlock it with one hand, otherwise I need both hands to hold and swipe.

 

I use a 4 digit code on my HTC.

 

The only thing stored in my phone is the contact list on the SIM card. I don't store anything else on the phone. With as much as my employees play with any phone they see lying around, I don't keep anything personal on it.

 

To them, phones left lying around are toys. I'm not fond of this happening, but I make sure I keep my phone in my pocket, or in the safe.

 

Boys? Most of my employees are women.

 

Yeah I use a code. It's not super tricky and the numbers are close enough that I can do all the unlocking easily with just one hand.

 

Yes, but not because I am scared of someone taking it. I do it so my kids don't play with it without my permission.

 

This thread made me think. Whenever I am at work I cannot keep my phone in my pocket. There is nothing in my phone I need to worry about. But it is still my personal business, so locking it is not a bad idea.

 

yes i do have a code to use.

 

If you have an iPhone and don't have a code, then you're really asking for trouble. An open iPhone gives you free access to any of the applications where you may have data stored, including all your email accounts, addresses, telephone numbers, personal notes, etc. Even an iPod which today is really a "smartpod", is an iPhone without the cellular connection in it, but it does everything else the iPhone does, so it should be secured somehow. And let's not get into the iPad.
