Security Alert: short guides for improve the safety of the iPhone

I believed that many people have experienced the loss of cell phones, no matter it is accidentally lost or stolen, or robbed. However, the cell phone may have a lot of privacy, such as contact person, photos, bank card and credit card information, etc. So, we have to strengthen the security of the phones. Vipporg now give tips for increasing iPhone security.

1.  Apple ID and password. Please set and use strong and unique passwords that are hard to decipher. Don't be afraid to forget your password, now have a unlock passcode tool for unlock the forgotten password. Now iPhone have the option to six-digit codes to unlock a device, you'd better use this feature. Try not to choose a password related to your birthday, phone, id number, name, etc.  There is one thing you can do in here, go to Settings>Touch ID & Passcode, you can see the optional about ALLOW ACCESS WHEN LOCKED, turn off as many features as you’d like under the Allow Access When Locked section. Once turned off, you won’t be able to access these features until you unlock your iPhone.

2. Open "Find my iPhone".  This function can help you locate your phone, track where it is or where it’s been, and remotely erase data in case you can't recover the device. You can also make use of the two-factor identification option available on iCloud.

3. Open "erase data".  If your iPhone failed to enter the password 10 times, it will erase all of data on your iPhone. You can find the data from your iCloud backup.

4. Two-factor identification option. When you enter your Apple ID and password for the first time on a new device, there are two steps waiting for you. Enter your regular password at the beginning. Then you will have to verify your identity with a six-digit verification code using one of your other devices. You can set it on your Apple ID account page.

5. Don't jailbreak your iPhone.  If you jailbreak your iPhone, it will prevent you from updating your apps and IOS version, preventing you from immediately patching bugs and vulnerabilities.

6. Choose secure networks.  When we need to use the Internet, we'd better choose a secure network. Unsecured Wi-Fi networks can be used by attackers to intercept data via man-in-the-middle attacks.

7. Download security genuine App.  Resist potential attacks, it can greatly reduce threats from apps and links before you even download them.

Finally, we hope your iPhone can be in safe state, and we need to find more security settings to protect our iPhone. If you have any ideas, please share with us.
